You can make a Desktop Command Execution widget with this script (DO NOT SET IT TO RUN ON BOOT OR PERIODICALLY ):
Code:
echo "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness" | sudo gainroot | echo ""
I don't know if setting the brightness to zero will actually turn off the backlight.

For the backlight itself (without (directly) affecting the brightness) use:
(turn off)
# echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power

(turn on)
# echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power
