## Backlight On State
-Most backlight circuits are driven by an N-channel MOSFET or NPN transistor. This means that to turn the transistor *on* and light the LEDs, you must drive the backlight pin, connected to the gate or base, *low*.
-Sometimes, however, a P-channel MOSFET, or a PNP transistor is used. In this case you must `#define BACKLIGHT_ON_STATE 1`, so that when the transistor is on, the pin is driven *high* instead.
