The moon phase where you see less of the lighted side is called the New Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears mostly dark and is often not visible in the night sky.
