Previously, laptops used a cold cathode tube (flourescent) which required an inverter and high-voltage circuit to the top of the display. The LEDs are less power-hungry and more energy-efficient. LED has a great reputation for longevity, but I don't think we yet have a lot of experience in laptops, so time will tell. Googling "laptop LED backlight" shows that they are popular features this year. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com
