Let's adjust one thing:
Quote:
Its called backlight in some articles because it is a more common term many writers don't know the difference, and don't bother or care about finding out the facts.
If being a common term was the driving factor, then we should be seeing them use the term "light" which is far more common than either backlight or frontlight and has the added virtue of being correct.
"Lighted," "Illuminated," "integrated light," are all quite common terms, and would all be correct, unlike "backlight" which is just wrong.

As for the video above, I don't speak Russian, but I'm curious to know if the head of the company actually SAID "backlight" or if it was just translated or captioned that way in error.
