Oh, I see. I very much doubt that the LEDs have individual drivers. I expect that they're all connected to one power source, either in parallel or series. Either way, you won't be able to adjust the brightness of individual LEDs.

I would expect that the light guide layer is more likely to be the cause of any brightness variation on the screen.
