Sunny day. Can't see the
screen, have to turn the
brightness to maximum.
Draining the battery. Here is
an idea you dumb fuck
companies, create an option
to turn the backlight off.

protip: brightness at minimal means the backlight is off

No it doesn't. I browse my phone in the dark.

Yes. But you can't turn the light off.

LCDs work by blocking out light from a backlight selectively. LEDs work by producing light selectively, as do CRTs.

I'm glad you brought that up. A lot of smartphones these days are using AMOLED screens, which means they produce their own light and do not have a backlight, which means there is no backlight to turn off. This may explain green's problem.

Yep! One cannot simply turn off the "backlight" on an AMOLED; if you want to compensate for excessive ambient light, MORE POWER MORE POWER MORE POWER.
