LED uses a liquid crystal display the same as LCD. The main difference is the way the display is lit. LCD uses fluorescent lights to light the LCD panel while LED uses Light Emitting Diodes to light the display panel. LED panels use two different methods: edge lit or back lit. Edge lit, lights around the edge of the display which allows for slimmer LED panels. Back lit places the LED lights behind the panel this allows for better contrast and black levels. Advantages are a better picture, thinner display panel and are more energy efficient.
