What: /sys/class/backlight//scale Date: July 2019 KernelVersion: 5.4 Contact: Daniel Thompson 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//ambient_light_level Date: Apr, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.35 Contact: Michael Hennerich 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. What: /sys/class/backlight//ambient_light_zone Date: Apr, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.35 Contact: Michael Hennerich , device-drivers-devel@blackfin.uclinux.org 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//max_brightness to /sys/class/backlight//brightness.
