Have a little fun by putting a mirror in front of it when it's not in active use. Let them learn themselves.

#33I agree with the others: this is literally the perfect implementation of literal Big Brother "your TV watches you" tech - this WILL BE ABUSED by Tech Corps + Governments. We need to stop building surveilance panopticons! "it is even conceivable that Norris’s pixels could react to a captured image and, without going through a computer, produce corresponding light patterns." Great, also they invented a digital mirror (…
Maybe the Board of Peace will outlaw this technology in doubleplusquick time before it can be put to use.

#34This reminds me of approximately 30 years ago. While dabbling in ham radio, I learned that speakers can work in reverse as microphones, and vice versa.
I mean, LED’s can also work aa light-sensors!

You still need a lens to make a camera

#37As usual HN is being incredibly alarmist. Cameras are smaller and cheaper, you can even hide them behind the screen itself to make it harder to cover them up.
We literally had selfie cameras in phones using under display cameras. Surveillance doesn't demand the kind of quality people expect of their phone cameras, making the slight degradation tolerable. Stick a couple with large lenses, under the display in the middle and in each quadrant and you'd be seriously harming your viewing experience.

And transistors as light sensors if you decap and expose the semiconductor junction to light

They can, but I have never seen them wired that way in a commercial product.
LEDs can also be used to measure light btw.

There's lots of stuff in an electronic assembly that's microphonic, not just speakers. I don't think it's possible to look at an assembly and conclude that it doesn't contain any microphones.
