- Basic 16x2 Character LCD - RGB Backlight 5VThis is similar to other 16x2 character LCDs that you’ve seen before but with one vibrant difference: The backlight is actually an RGB LED. This means that you can change the backlight of this display to any color you want by controlling the three backlight levels. It also utilizes an extremely common parallel interface so code is freely available (check below for an Arduino example). You will need ~11 general I/O pins to interface to this LCD screen, plus an extra 3 pins for the RGB backlight.

- Round Semi-Circle Backlight LED - 50mm DiameterSKU: ADA4882 Brand: AdafruitThese pretty circles of light are plastic diffused backlights, probably originally used in LCD gauge displays. Normally they're tucked behind the LCD and shine white light from below. Here, we've got the LEDs available individually, and they're really cool! Each LED is encased in a 2.2mm thick semi-circle of acrylic. The acrylic is a special type that is very good at diffusing light, so even though there are only two white LEDs, it provides near-uniform lighting. The other flat side of the diffuse has a reflector on it so you only get light from the top (otherwise the backlight would lose 1/2 the brightness unnecessarily)
