What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/scale
Date: July 2019
KernelVersion: 5.4
Contact: Daniel Thompson <[email protected]>
Description:
Description of the scale of the brightness curve.
The human eye senses brightness approximately logarithmically,
hence linear changes in brightness are perceived as being
non-linear. To achieve a linear perception of brightness changes
controls like sliders need to apply a logarithmic mapping for
backlights with a linear brightness curve.
Possible values of the attribute are:
unknown
The scale of the brightness curve is unknown.
linear
The brightness changes linearly with each step. Brightness
controls should apply a logarithmic mapping for a linear
perception.
non-linear
The brightness changes non-linearly with each step. Brightness
controls should use a linear mapping for a linear perception.
What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/ambient_light_level
Date: Apr, 2010
KernelVersion: v2.6.35
Contact: Michael Hennerich <[email protected]>
Description:
(RO) Get conversion value of the light sensor.
The value is automatically updated every 80 ms when the
light sensor is enabled.
The value range is device-driver specific:
For ADP8870:
It returns integer between 0 (dark) and 8000 (max ambient
brightness).
For ADP8860:
It returns a 13-bits integer.

Description:
(RW) Read or write the specific brightness level at which the
backlight operates.
The value meaning is device-driver specific:
For ADP8860:
== ==========================
0 Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
1 Level 1: daylight
2 Level 2: bright
3 Level 3: dark
== ==========================
For ADP8870:
== ==========================
0 Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
1 Level 1: daylight
2 Level 2: bright
3 Level 3: office
4 Level 4: indoor
5 Level 5: dark
== ==========================
Writing 0 returns to normal/automatic ambient light level
operation.
It can be enabled by writing the value stored in
/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/max_brightness to
/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/brightness.
