# Fade out
Gradually decrease the [LED screen](/device/screen) brightness until the LED lights are turned off.
```sig
led.fadeOut(700);
```
## Parameters
* ms - [Number](/types/number); the speed that the screen brightness is decreased, expressed in milliseconds (1,000 milliseconds = 1 second). The smaller the number the faster the screen brightness decreased.
## Example: fade away letter A
The following example sets the screen brightness to the maximum brightness, displays the letter A, and then gradually fades the letter away:
```blocks

led.fadeOut(1000)
```
