The coloured dots are a passive printed layer between the light pipe for the front light and the active screen. They reduce sharpness, brightness and contrast compared to not having them.

As I already said earlier,, because I actually *tried* it.. put the same font, with same weight and same size, and compare the two side by side,, they look the same, as far as sharpness and perceived contrast. (should be obvious, but in most lighting situation, the LC needs brighter light setting, and there is visible, speckling on the background, that looks like very very fine dust with an occasional colorful iridescent sparkle if the light hits it just right.)
