A device, method and computer program product are provided. The device includes a housing having display and back surfaces. A digital camera unit (DCU) is held in the housing and is oriented to face the display surface. The DCU includes sensor pixels to capture image data for a scene in a field of view of the DCU. The sensor pixels are arranged in a sensor matrix with a sensor pixel density. A display layer is held in the housing proximate to the display surface. The display layer includes display pixels arranged in a display matrix having a first pixel density. The display pixels are separated by gaps arranged in rows and columns. The display layer overlays the DCU such that a first subset of the sensor pixels aligns with, and are covered by, the display pixels and a second subset of the sensor pixels align with, and are exposed through, the gaps between the display pixels. The device includes a processor and memory storing program instructions accessible by the processor. Responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor performs graphical user interface (GUI) related operations to display content on the display layer and performs an image capture operation to obtain image data utilizing the DCU.
