The LCD screen itself does not generate enough light to be seen. It merely changes the color of light passing through it. The backlight provides this light. Much like a stained-glass window cannot show its brilliance without a light-source behind it, an LCD screen with no backlight is almost completely unviewable.

Why is your LCD tv picture starting to dim?

More than likely your "back light" is going out. This is unfortunate, as it can be fairly expensive to replace. The backlight is just that, on an lcd set, the backlight is a large array of very small lights that illuminate the lcd screen from "behind". Hence the name. A good way to tell if its dying, is to check the contrast setting on the tv. If you can set it near the max, and it's still pretty dim, your backlight is definitely going out on ya.
