Backlight bleeding is present to a certain extent on every LCD display panel. The nature of the display is such that, with power to the monitor the backlight is on, and the job of the LCD pixels is to block it out. Which they do imperfectly because the metal framework that supports the panel in these areas causes a tiny fluctuation in the voltage applied to the LCD pixels in those areas.
Try the following test: Use paint or Photoshop to create a fullscreen size totally black image. Use a picture viewer to view it fullscreen, and look at it in a totally dark room. It doesn't matter what brand or model of LCD monitor you use, there will be at least *some* bleeding of light at the edges and corners.
I tried this with the desktop LG monitor I've been extremely happy with for the past two years. Gaming, word processing, surfing the web, image editing - never noticed a problem. But sure enough, when I did the test, there was a noticeable light pattern around the edges.
Bottom line: Some backlight bleeding is inevitable. But before you fall victim to another internet forum inspired panic-fest, take a minute to consider the way you REALLY use your iPad. (Hint - looking at a totally black screen in a dark room isn't a very common activity.)
