light boxes
Backlit viewing surfaces
Light boxes are flat, illuminated panels that provide even backlighting.
Photographers and artists use them to view slides, negatives, or trace images.
In medicine, light boxes treat seasonal affective disorder by simulating natural daylight: My therapist recommended a light box for the winter months.
The term also covers illuminated advertising displays and signs.
