According to an example, a display-camera system includes a transparent display panel and a transparent backlight panel. Light sources emit light into the edge of the transparent backlight panel. A first polarizer, between the light sources and the edge of the transparent backlight panel, polarizes the light emitted from the light sources and the transparent backlight panel directs the polarized light towards the transparent display panel. A camera, adjacent a back surface of the transparent backlight panel captures an image of a scene through the transparent display panel and the transparent backlight panel.
