Not very long. You've had an iPad for quite a while, haven't you? 
Have you noticed any degradation?

I suspect that whatever is used for the backlighting will change in 
time. Flourescents, which is what used to be used certainly do and 
also LED's. Some LED's dimmed quite rapidly, and current LED lights 
seem to last longer, but the manufacturer's claims are still a bit 
suspect: "A new type of LED that won't dim". And how long has it been 
out, and how has it been tested? Theoretically there could be LED's 
that don't dim, but electronics in general shouldn't fail either.
