Honestly though, I have no trouble reading my '500 with just a cheap 10 Dollar clip on light.

It could be lit though similar to the way a cars analog displays are lit. Of course, the displays on cars are made with a reflexive material so only a small amount of light makes the very visible.
BUt, I could see a series of LED lights put along each side of the screen. It would make the reader a little bit wider, but not by much. This would be similar to an LED watch when you press the light button... also some LCD calculators are light like this.
It certainaly is possible to do it, no it won't be "back light".
