And don't forget the wireless and LCD backlight. Those are other major contributors of power utilization. Hopefully OLED will help resolve the latter.
Actually, there is already an alternative to CCFL backlighting on LCDs. One of Sony's ultraportable laptops uses an array of white LEDs to backlight the LCD display. I don't recall just how much power savings, but apparently some, and as another plus they were able to make the display substantially thinner. Tom's Hardware has a nice review of the laptop.
