Not sure I follow. A smaller screen reqires less power to illuminate to the same level. So you either need less backlight/LEDs or you can run them at a lower level to have equal brightness to a larger screen. 3.5" vs 4.1" should be in the range of 30% difference in area, which is a considerable power factor.
