Explanation

Traditional laptop LCD screens use CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlights, which require AC (alternating current) to operate. A laptop battery supplies DC (direct current). The inverter is the component that converts DC power from the battery into the AC power needed to drive the backlight. Without the inverter, the screen would be dark or unlit. A PCMCIA card (A) is an expansion slot, and PCI-E (D) is a desktop/internal bus - neither powers the display.
