I'm only familiar with Android 'phones, but a quick Google gave the two following tips amongst others, if they don't work then you need an iPhone guru!

1) Sometimes, your iPhone screen might be dim due to the malfunctioning of the ambient light sensor. This sensor allows the iPhone to adopt different lighting conditions. To fix it, try lock your iPhone for a few minutes and then unlock. Also, remove your phone from its case and clean your device and case with a soft slightly damp cloth.

2) Reset All Settings. If your iPhone's screen is still too dim, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings to eliminate the possibility that something in the Settings app is causing your iPhone's screen to be too dark.. 3. DFU Restore Your iPhone. A DFU restore is the deepest kind of software restore you can do on an iPhone.

p.s. I take it that you did try just turning the screen brightness up!
