And
STN LCD, it's basically what you'd expect -- a low-resolution, low-power, high-latency (aka, blurry) LCD panel. But for 1989 it was pretty good.
And no, the original Gameboy never had a light screen. Nor did the Gameboy Color, or even the first revision of the Gameboy Advance. It wasn't until the Gameboy Advance SP that Nintendo finally put a backlit screen in a Gameboy device. Of course there were plenty of clip-on lights for all of the different models that worked to various degrees.
