Yes, that's a whole new topic. Must admit I have not been following it closely, but . . . .
I too recall having read a few things about using LEDs for backlighting, they can be pretty bright compared to the old ones. Example, check out the little LED flashlights that you can get at the hardware store these days - bright enough to hurt your eyes and the built-in batteries last forever. Impressive technology.
Also, LEDs are being used for giant display screens (up to 5' high by 14' wide at last count) for arena use. And TVs up to 140" - check it out:
