apparently it is still a lcd however
1. Dynamic RGB LEDs mean better blacks......not that i dont like blacks as they are now. Its always good to have a better black.
2. Edge-LED. goes around the frame and is spread across the back
the two types.
The new led save 40% more power then the current lcds.
3. I am pretty sure there is actually development that i read in P.m. about a new led technology that will be as thin as a credit card and will give a great crisp picture. Unless i read that article wrong but did find this article on a google search.
The smaller end of the screen size spectrum will soon belong to organic LED (OLED). OLED needs no backlighting because the pixel grid itself is an array of colored lights. Such "active-matrix" OLED displays are also brighter than active-matrix LCD technology. OLED screens have every other screen technology beat in the contrast and brightness departments and they're also thinner. Sony's 11-inch XEL-1 is currently the only commercially available OLED TV, and it boasts a thickness of 3 millimeters. LG has announced a 15-inch OLED TV that will be a scant 0.85 millimeters thick, which will launch Korea at the end of this year.
and the more kick ass part of that article is here
Once credit loosens up and those fabs come online, OLED will finally be able to break out of its small-screen niche. Ultimately, OLED has potential applications far beyond HDTV. OLED displays can be printed on a flexible plastic substrate, and foldable screens with the thickness of a credit card have already been demonstrated at CES 2009. Clear OLED screens will also eventually be possible, so that a window in your house could double as a TV screen.
