The ambient light sensor is a power saving feature. It measures the luminance value of the light (think a camera with a very low resolution that can only measure brightness)

The darker the environment, the less backlight you need so it automatically lower the backlight brightness.

If you would like to know the info that your light sensor is picking up (and have an android phone), then you can download the phone tester app then look at the sensor data. play.Google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester&hl=en
