Well, after looking at this today:

and following the links in that article to these:

I've become interested in notebooks with LED backlit displays. But first, how do these compare to traditional backlighting on LCDs? How do they compare to OLED screens (and when do you think these will be available on notebooks?)?

So, besides the notebooks featured in these three articles, what other LED backlit notebooks exist? These ones all have pretty small screens, as something I noticed...Are there any others with larger screens, as well?

Yeah! So! Thanks!

From what I have heard thus far, LCD backlights are much more expensive than traditional CCT backlights, which is why they are first appearing on smaller notebooks. The performance benefits (brighter, less battery consumption) are a plus, but in order to keep the price reasonable, the roll-out will be relatively slow.
