Non-backlit LCD is a possibility. If you need several indicators, you can combine them into one LCD. The downside is they are hard to read, especially cheap on

The downside is they are hard to read, especially cheap ones and especially at weird angles.
- Marsymars 6y agoI'm sure I own some product with a non-backlit LCD where you can push a button to have the backlight turn on, which times out after some time. Can't for the life of me remember what product that's in though.
- adrianmonk 6y agoYeah, that's pretty common. I have an Opus BT-C2000 battery charger that does exactly that. Pressing any button causes the backlight to come on for about 30 seconds. Also a Garmin Forerunner FR220 running watch which has a dedicated button for this (with a light bulb icon). LCD is a good choice for it since it's used outdoors a lot and LED (or AMOLED) wouldn't be readable in direct sun.
