Explanation:
por lo que yo he entendido, hay una serie de grupos/bloques de caracteres que están separados entre sí - para mí los "dark spots" son los espacios entre estos grupos

agree  María Teresa Taylor Oliver: Exacto. Porque en una pantalla LCD, los caracteres estarían "encendidos". Mientras que, si no hay caracteres, habría espacios oscuros.//De nada, pienso que "espacios oscuros" podría servir.

espacios apagados / desactivados / obscuros


Explanation:
Para complementar la respuesta de la otra colega.

En las pantallas LCD, lo que está activado o encendido son los caracteres, lo demás son espacios o cuadros apagados u obscuros.

I think this asker is quite rude in declining my response like this; it is a mere suggestion and in fact a correct translation, even if it does not work in the context given...

I just wanted to let my fellow PROZ colleagues know how I feel about this...
