Brightside's new LCD display

That is one of the most informative tech articles I've read in quite some time. I'm surprised at the relative lack of interest here.
 
It's interesting. I'm sure the results it can achieve for HDR are impressive but the cost is probably very high and the lifespan of the LEDs very low when compared to traditional CCFL backlights. I wouldn't expect this technology to take off due to cost and inefficiency of the LEDs.

Yes, the cost is extremely high (for now). I don't know how efficient CCFL lights are, but 32W T8 fluorescent tubes can emit up to 100 lumens per watt. Current white LEDs can emit up to 37.5 lumens per watt, with Nichia predicting up to 60 lumens per watt. Cree has demonstrated a 100 lumen per watt prototype.

According to http://www.netl.doe.gov/ssl/faqs.htm, lifetime (as defined by operation until 70% of nominal brightness) is about 35000 hours.
 
i thought LEDs had much longer lives than the flourescent bulbs that are behind LCDs
