# @system.brightness (Screen Brightness)

The **brightness** module provides APIs for querying and adjusting the screen brightness and mode.

> **NOTE**
>
> - The APIs of this module are no longer maintained since API version 7.<!--Del--> You are advised to use APIs of [@ohos.brightness](js-apis-brightness-sys.md). <!--DelEnd-->The substitute APIs are available only for system applications.
> - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 3. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
