I could be talking nonsense, and perhaps this would consume more power than it saves, but if you were able to slowly dim the backlight over the course of a minute or so, instead of waiting a minute and then dropping it suddenly, we could prevent the sudden change which causes a break in concentration. (As long as the screen is bright enough to be usable when dim, of course.)
