It turns out that brightness changes don't apply to individual pixels - they always shine at 100%. So instead, what happens is that unless we set the brightness to 100%, the device rapidly switches off and on again backlight of the screen. - -We are talking about hundreds of hertz, and there is [math to understand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation), but some people can see the flickering and are therefore unable to use OLED screens. |
