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 :)

I own a MZ-R90, and find it to be an excellent unit. Battery life is
excellent, but I find when I turn on the unit to start playing (unit off), I
sometimes get a "battery Low" warning. I am sure there is still some juice
left, cause it works for a long time, after I turn on the unit using its
buttons. This tells me the remote must be using quite a bit of power, to
turn it on, or all the time. How much more battery life would you get with
no remote at all? How accurate is the battery meter on the MZ-R90 in
general? Any suggestions would be great.
