I suspect an AMOLED screen will not have this problem, and so, will even allow me to turn the brightness level still further down while keeping reading convenient. This ought to help in terms of energy efficiency as well.

Unfortunately, I couldn't possibly test this hypothesis out in a showroom. So I'd very much appreciate any help in this regard from experienced members who might have already tried out this scenario, and so, can guide me. Thank you very much for your time.
The advantage of Amoled: when the screen is black, it's off. So, my phone (5.7" AMOLED) doesn't leak any light when I select a black background. In fact, the colours I have for background reading on my Freda application is RGB(0, 0, 0) as background and RGB(50, 50, 50) as ink colour. I tried those colours on my tablet (8" LCD) and they were unreadable due to the light leakage as you described.
