Hey,

Thanks for the question! The partner 500 models use a standard non back-lit LCD screen and low consumption internals. This provides for amazing battery life and hours of continuous use.

The screen should be easily seen in normal lighting conditions, if not it could be defect with the product. You can see the model on this YouTube video, it is a live demonstration of the unit.
