I'm not sure what the figure is, but Aiwa's AM-HX70 has a power save feature
that turns the remote off, among other things. Seems to get a few hours
extra on battery life.
Back in 1995 Sony used flourescent backgorund on the remote LCD of their
cassette walkman (WM-EX2). But I guess backlight always wins out in the end.
Backlights aren't that attractive nowadays, but if you've seen what
Panasonic did with the backlights back in 96/97 (3 colors on black
background, red, etc)...
They sure made a lasting impression in my head :)
