backlit displays
Illuminated from behind
Backlit displays use a light source behind the screen to illuminate images and text.
Most LCD screens in laptops, phones, and televisions are backlit, typically with LEDs.
The technology allows screens to be visible in dark environments but can cause eye strain during extended use.
Contrast with e-ink displays, which rely on ambient light.
