1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
an ambient light sensor that detects an ambient light level, wherein the display is at a first brightness level; and
control circuitry that increases a brightness of the display from the first brightness level to a second brightness level that is higher than the first brightness level based on the detected ambient light level when the display is turned on.
