What “backlight” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediabacklight/ˈbæk.laɪt/
- nounA spotlight that illuminates a photographic subject from behind.
- verbTo illuminate something from behind.
A backlight is a form of illumination used in liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) that provides light from the back or side of a display panel. LCDs do not produce light on their own, so they require illumination—either from ambient light or a dedicated light source—to create a visible image. Backlights are commonly used in smartphones, computer monitors, and LCD televisions. They are also used in small displays, such as wristwatches, to enhance readability in low-light conditions.
