That sensor is to detect the light condition during you use that phone...
For example.... you at outdoor noon time, sun shining.... and you use the phone under the sun.... the light sensor will tell your phone to adjust the screen brightness to maximum so you can see the screen clearly....
But if you at dark place, light sensor will tell your phone to adjust screen brightness to low...
This is wat the sensor do... and beside let you see clearly in according to light condition, it also help save battery energy
Not believe ? heheh try to cover your sensor by finger... see is it your screen brightness become dark , and try release it ...see it is the screen brightness become brighter...

by the way, in SE W850i manual did not mention about it....
and some of the people found that this function quite kacau , sadly is .... from old firmwre until now RIJG001 firmware still dun have disable manually function for this light sensor.
