I just read a tidbit, not sure as to the accuracy, stating that dimming the screen on iPads and other LCD screens uses more energy than full bright. The statement was that the way that screens dim is to increase the density of the LCD (which I agree increases the drain), rather than reducing the energy to the backlight.
Seemed like a somewhat incredible claim, but one that I could see potentially being true considering how power finicky some of the more efficient light sources are. If it is true and some knows it to be fact, I'd appreciate knowing because it will change the way I manage power.
