What Are Backlight & Illuminated Sign Boards? Backlight sign boards use internal lighting (usually LEDs) to shine through translucent graphics, creating vibrant, evenly lit displays. Illuminated sign boards is a broader term encompassing any signage that uses light—whether from behind, within, or around the sign—to boost visibility and aesthetic appeal.
