      I am not really sure how correct I am but it looks to me that those pins are for the LED backlight of the LCD panel. As far as I can see the LCD controller board doesn’t have an in-build LED driver. VDD and V(LED_EN) are both 3.3V. Maybe combine those pins with pin 2 and 3 and see what happens.

      Of course there is always a risk of frying your panel so I am not taking any responsibility! It’s just a suggestion of what you could try to do. Please report once you got it to work.

          @Daiki Do you have an extra LED driver for LCDs? You could take the connections from there. Kinda like in this picture:

              Maybe try a MOSFET to get 3.3V. However, I am not very confident that would work. I don’t understand why it didn’t work when you combined the pins 28 and 30 with 2 and 3.
              What happens when you only put 3.3V on pin 30, leaving 28 (VDD) disconnected? And what happens if you reverse it (28 = 3.3V, 30 = 0V)?

              Maybe somebody else with more experiences with LCDs could join the conversation?
