I assume it does, but even at 0% screen brightness sighted people can still read the screen just fine, it may be more difficult in bright sunlight and it's not easy when looking from an angle to the side, but if somebody looks straight at it they can read it. In any case, while keeping the screen brightness down helps, I never felt it made a huge difference and now I simply turn auto brightness. If you don't want to do this and still make sure it's easy for a sighted person to see your screen while saving battery just keep it at 5 % or 8%. Of course people also have to consider the drawback of turning on the screen curtain, most sighted people will not know how to turn this off and if you want emergency contact/medical information to be available at all times turning on the screen curtain effectively prevents this information from being available to an emergency responder.
