By raising and lowering the brightness settings...

The thing that is shining from behind your LCD screens.  You'll notice
that there is a difference between a nominally black screen and a
switched-off screen.  The difference is the backlight shining through
the LCDs which don't block the light from the backlight absolutely
even when switched to "black".

Not sure whether "backlight" is the right expression.  It is the light
source for the LCD, anyway.
