And the same will apply to LED backlights. It's a big con that
LEDs are more efficient -- they only are where supplying narrow-
bandwidth light. As soon as you try and make them produce
continuous-spectrum light -- ie white -- the efficiency goes way
down. Of course, they may improve -- but then again, so may
fluorescent.

White LEDs are not continuous-spectrum. They contain a phosphor that
produces yellow light when stimulated by blue light.
