These LEDs should > have a very wide viewing angle, very small lumen If you don't have much space behind the LCD then that would be one solution. I've found that one or two LEDs and a guide/reflector works too If you have room to do so, a good way would be have the back of the LCD open and shine LEDs at it from a distance, which will help spread the light.
