Entire MacBook Line-up to Feature LED BLU's by 2009

The transition which began last year appears to be coming to an end with Apple's remaining notebooks set to receive LED back lit units by 2009.

According to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) Apple plans to use back light unit maker (BLU) Kenmos Technology to help complete a promise Apple made last year to transition all notebooks to LED-lit displays.

Since Steve Jobs' open letter declaring Apple's aim to become "greener" the company made LED-lit display standard on the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and an option on the 17-inch MacBook Pro, but in a storming move for the industry introduced the MacBook Air with the brighter and more power efficient LED backlit technology.
