First of all it's screen curtain not screen courtain. Just so we all know what you're talking about. It's best to only use screen curtain in situations where you would rather have some privacy by nobody being able to look over your shoulder. Otherwise leave it off. It doesn't seem to make a difference on the battery at least at my end. The brightness however does consume power. The higher the percentage the more power the device consumes.

My apologies for such a newbee question, but I just want to make sure
that I fully understand the functionality of screen courtain.  I only
just realized what might be happening with this feature.  I had turned
the brightness way down on my screen, and had probably engaged screen
courtain at some point.  When I was attempting to show my wife some
pictures, she said she couldn't see anything, so I turned up the
brightness.  She still couldn't see anything.  She said the screen was
black, so I did the three finger triple tap to turn off the screen
courtain, and all was happy.

So, my question is, should I just leave brightness at a high setting
so the screen is easily read by a sighted person when screen courtain
is off, and just keep the screen courtain on whenever I am using the
phone?

I had always assumed that the courtain was dynamic and was only on
when the phone was locked.  Since it seems to be a persistent thing,
then there doesn't seem to be a need for me to keep brightness turned
down.

Thanks.
