LCD means Liquid Crystal Display.
Perhaps the confusion comes from LED which is a Light Emitting Diode, but is also a completely different animal.

I thought I read somewhere that some manufacturers have started using led technology for
backlighting in LCD's. That's pretty impressive. When I think of LED, I think of tiny red and green "glow lights" for on/off switches and such. I had no idea they could get that kind of brightness out of an LED.
