Imagine you're in a dark room and turn on a light, it feels super bright. That’s like what happens with your phone or tablet screen when it's in the dark: it's like a little light bulb that suddenly shines in your face. The screen has tiny lights inside called pixels, and they all work together to create pictures. In the dark, those pixels shine brighter than usual, and you feel like your screen is glowing!
Examples
- Your phone screen feels like it's glowing when you're in bed at night because it's shining a lot of light into your face.
- The glow from your watch face in the dark feels almost magical because it’s so bright compared to everything else.
