A system and method of backlighting a display is disclosed in which one or more light sources may be used to provide substantially appropriate uniform backlighting of a display medium and simultaneously provide a visually pleasing light source for a decorative display frame. The disclosed system and method provide for one or more light sources, a lightbox for the light sources, a light mask to provide uniform distribution of the illumination provided by the light sources, a display media container to secure and protect the visual media to be backlit, an optional decorative frame, and an offsetting structure to separate the decorative frame and/or lightbox from the display media container. The disclosed invention increases the visual appeal of photographs and other visual media while providing a compact and safe means for media display that eliminates the nonuniform illumination and heat buildup problems present in the prior art. Additionally, the present invention teaches a variety of methods in which the decorative frame and/or display media may be illuminated using a single light source, thus permitting backlit displays to be utilized in situations heretofore not possible.
