False. Organic LED displays don't use a backlight. They use less energy to display dark colors, just as vibrunazo said.

There are probably three or four orders of magnitude fewer OLED displays in the world than LCDs. Pretty much the only place you'll currently find an OLED screen is on a Samsung phone.

Agreed. However, the comment I quoted overstated the case against dark colors saving power.
