Confused on output in powertop2

It is probably something to do with me not understanding something properly, but when I run powertop2 it shows there being 2 listing of Display backlight. This system is a laptop with no external monitors. So I do not understand as to why there would be 2 listing of it both matching the same usage and mW output.

Qosmio x505-887 fully updated nvidia-blob, I have noticed this for awhile now but figured at some point I would read as to why but have yet to see anything pertaining.

Thanks for your time and info.

edit:

  261 mW    100.0%                      Device         Display backlight
