The invention discloses a method and a
system for adjusting display screen backlight and a mobile terminal. The method comprises the following steps that when a display
system receives a screen lightening request, the current ambient
light intensity is collected by a photo sensor, and whether the current ambient
light intensity is the lowest intensity level or not is judged; if so, the backlight brightness of a display screen is set to the lowest brightness level, the backlight of the display screen is lighted up in a level-to-level manner until the backlight brightness of the display screen reaches the lowest brightness level; and if not, the backlight brightness required by the display screen is set according to the current ambient
light intensity, and the backlight of the display screen is directly lighted up and set to the backlight brightness required by the current ambient light intensity. When the ambient light intensity is lower, the method and the
system can realize that the backlight of the display screen is lighted up in a level-to-level manner, the eyes of a user can slowly adapt to the backlight brightness of the display screen, and the problems that the user suddenly sees the bright display screen in a dark environment to result in dazzling and uncomforting of eyes are avoided. The use experience of the user is optimized.
