Most digital cameras will pick up IR LEDs from e.g. remote-control devices. (That is my experience)

I think you're talking about infrared (IR) leds. Light that is visible through specially designed electronic devices such as night vision goggles or camera with a NightShot feature, but not to the unaided human eye, right?

I have to agree, I think he's talking about infrared LEDs.

I don't quite understand what you are asking, but if you want to see the light that the leds produce through a camera, but not with the human eye, then IR(infrared) leds would be what you need.  But not all digital cameras will 
"see" the light, because they have an IR filter.  Most cell phone cameras don't have IR filters though.  So, if you make the display with IR leds you should be able to see it with a cell phone's camera, but not with your eyes.
