If this whole debacle has taught me anything, it's that most people don't know the difference between LEDs and Lite Brites.

well honestly an array of LEDs set into a crude image DOES look like a light bright.

It pretty much is a Litebrite.

No it isn't. With LEDs, each element is an independent light source. With Lite Brites, each peg is just a colored piece of plastic that transmits light from a single backlight.

but they look very much the same, in fact one could probably make a lightbright using leds on something like a breadboard rather than plastic pegs on a backlit screen.

You used substandard LiteBrites.

No, LiteBrites are just older than LEDs. (or at least commonly available LEDs, I don't know when the earliest prototype was made)

Like I said, substandard. Besides, the newest models did use LEDs.
