The first practical LED televisions have been around for a number of years but not as a domestic product. The huge display screens in arenas, stadia, Times Square and Picadilly Circus are all examples of LED screens. The LEDs are typically on a 8mm or 10mm pitch so producing effective images at a distance.

The development of organic LEDs, known as OLEDs and allowed the LEDs to become small enough to apply similar technology to a domestic sized product. OLEDs are still being developed and as they become more robust, true LED televisions will become far more popular. The relative simplicity compared to LCD and plasma television is likely to drive prices down in the coming years.

In the case of both commercial LED screens and domestic versions, several companies have adopted the technologies at similar times. It is safe to say that no one person or company "invented" the LED television although credit must be given to the engineering teams who first applied LED technology to television and video displays.

It is worth highlighting an area of confusion. LCD televisions use a set of shutters to pass or block light. To create the image, and LCD requires a light behind the LCD shutters and it is known as a back light. From 2009 onwards, manufacturers have begun using LEDs as the backlight as an alternative to fluorescent lighting. These are often referred to as "LED" televisions but are still LCD. A true LED display uses many small LEDs to directly generate the light that produce the image.
