Then you are very confused.  LED-backlit LCDs just exchange the
light source, from fluorescent lamps to a bunch of LEDs.  There are
several variations to this (pseudo-white LEDs vs. RGB ones, LEDs
positioned behind the panel or around the rim of the screen), but
none of them have anything remotely like individual lights for each
pixel.
