When I turn it on, the screen glows as if illuminated from within. Regardless of how it's achieved, that's good enough for me.
I have devices that have no "backlight" at all so you have to shine a light from a source located above the screen in order to see. These devices are not like that. In the case that I was referring to, if you ever had a Casio indiglo watch, the effect is like that. |

Perhaps nitpicking but such inaccuracy should be corrected much like correcting a Flat Earther must be done. It may be a waste of breath but the attempt has to be made. |

What's hilarious is that I absolutely get your point. You obviously aren't anywhere close to understanding mine. Good luck and have fun with that.

No one would take issue with you if you just said that your device has a light. You don't have to say "frontlight" if you don't want to (which I can understand, because that also refers to the external clip-on lights). However, the light is actually shining on the front of the screen. The claim that "backlight" is valid because you can read it in the dark like an LCD screen isn't a compelling argument in my view.

The same type of thinking that in one local case, had a person arguing they were entitled to a HOV OK sticker since their car had a battery (having a HOV OK sticker allows the driver of a hybrid or electric vehicle to use the high occupancy lane while not meeting the occupancy requirement). |
