Brightness controls for dual-sided displays

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, a first brightness setting for a first display of a dual-sided display;
• receiving, by the processor, a second brightness setting for a second display of the dual-sided display;
• setting, via the processor, a brightness of a backlight unit of the dual-sided display to a level associated with a higher brightness setting between the first brightness setting and the second brightness setting;
• and
• controlling, via the processor, a layer of liquid crystals of the first display or the second display with a lower brightness setting between the first brightness setting and the second brightness setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions to set a backlight unit to a first brightness level associated with a first display panel having a higher brightness setting, wherein the backlight unit is to provide backlight to the first display panel and a second display panel of a dual-sided display;
• instructions to calculate a second brightness level associated with the second display panel having a lower brightness setting;
• instructions to calculate an amount of rotation of liquid crystals in a layer of liquid crystals of the second display panel;
• and
• instructions to set the liquid crystals in the layer of liquid crystals in accordance with the amount of rotation calculated in the instructions to calculate.
