Macbook display darkens and turns black

The more I open my macbook the darker it gets. For example if my macbook is completly open the screens gets black. But when my macbook is 40 degrees open, the display is normal. But the more it opens the more it darkens, until the screen is black. Can someone help me with this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

This is a hardware issue with the display assembly / projector cable— the resolve is take it in :
