LCD displays use tiny liquid crystal shutters, one for each pixel that makes up the display. Behind the shutters is a light source that passes through the shutter when it is open. LCD displays have used a form of fluorescent lighting behind the shutters but increasingly, LEDs are being used as the light source. The display technology hasn't changed, just the light source.

Note that these are different to true LED displays. These use LEDs to create the image directly and replace the liquid crystal shutters and the light source behind them. Although they are a very recent introduction in domestic televisions, this technology has been around in the large arena and stadium displays for many years.
