Abstract: Techniques are described to enhance a backlight design for electronic devices. A circuit is described to provide backlight for a display of an electronic device. In an implementation, the circuit includes a collection of light elements arranged electrically in a series and includes one said light element of the series which is operable both with the collection and independently of the collection. In another implementation, the one said light element is arranged to be in a last position of the series electrically and physically is arranged to correspond to a center portion of the display of the electronic device.
