Does dark mode consume more power and drain smartphone batteries faster?

I was experimenting with dark mode on my phone today. And it seems like my battery ended up draining faster than when I am using light mode.

Who has experienced this too? What is the explanation to the battery running faster in dark mode than in light mode?

I have never experienced this before. Dark mode works well on my smartphone and laptop, and it does not cause their batteries to drain easily.
