=== Backglass ===

The ''backglass'' is a vertical graphic panel mounted on the front of the [[Glossary of pinball terms#backbox|backbox]]. The backglass contains the name of the machine, [[graphics]], and score displays (lights, mechanical wheels, an [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] display, or a [[dot-matrix display]] depending on the era). Some backglasses include a mechanical device tied to gameplay, such as ''[[NBA Fastbreak (pinball)|NBA Fastbreak]]'', which featured a miniature basketball and hoop. For older games, the backglass image is screen printed in layers on the reverse side of a piece of glass; in more recent games, the image is imprinted into a [[Glossary of pinball terms#|translite]].
