iPhone screen blacks out

Recently when I finish a call or I get an incoming call and I pull the phone away from my ear to touch the screen, it remains black. No icons, no messages, no options. Then all I can do is turn the thing off and start it up, again. What gives?

Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I am having a similar issue. My screen blacks out randomly when i am using it sometimes. Some days it is fine but then it could happen a couple of times in one day. I hasn't occurred during or after a call yet, just during general usage. Switching to standby and back on again turns the light on again.
Just to clarify the issue, I can still see what is on the screen but it is very faint as the light behind the screen blacks out.
