Settings > Display & Brightness > Brightness
If you have increased the brightness setting to its maximum, you cannot increase the brightness any further.
Maximum brightness may be limited by the state of the iPad battery; connecting the iPad to its Power Adapter may help to achieve the maximum brightness - but be aware that running the screen at its brightest will generate more heat, which if sustained, may cause the iPad to automatically reduce brightness and/or reduce CPU performance to protect the iPad from damage.
