Explanation

The backlight is the light source behind the LCD panel that makes the screen visible. Older laptops used CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlights; modern ones use LED backlights. The inverter is a separate component that converts DC power to AC power to drive a CCFL backlight - it powers the backlight but is not itself the illumination source. The inverter connector cable links the inverter to the backlight. The bezel is the plastic frame surrounding the screen with no illumination function.
