at the "sony store" located at: http://store.sony.com/digital-voice-recorder-zid27-ICDAX412/cat-27-catid-All-Voice-Recorders it indicates there IS a backlight display however, after viewing the manual I do not see it mentioned.

No, not back lighted. Returning because pictures make it look like it is, but it isn't.

Yes it does, and the brightness of the backlight can be adjusted from off to full.

So far we have answers of green backlight, yellow and no backlight. Which is it? Does it have a backlit screen?

I am not using this option, but the display is not backlit in the normal mode of operation.

Yes the keyboard is backlit. You might be also interested to know that the screen has a matte finish.

I took it into a dark room and I could not see the screen. I suggest that you go online to Sony and download the owner's Manuel. I don't see anything about a backlight in it, but maybe I just missed it.

No, it is not backlit when the call comes in. It is the same display as when the phone is sitting idle.

Didn't notice any back light. I believe it's just black numbers against grey screen.

No the LCD is not backlit. I think that is a great idea it would be nice if it had a switch to turn it on or off to save power. for that matter it would be nice if the meter had a switch to turn the display on or off.

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

No , it is not backlit. However the yellow color of the keys make it quite bright to even see it in low light.

This doesn't have backlights, unless you count the capslock button or screen lock button led as a "backlight."

No backlighting at all. The only blue LED's it has is for the caps lock, and a couple others, otherwise there are no lights on the keyboard.

The display is continuous and can alternate between the data you want - as an example heart rate and cadence. No backlight, but most people are not riding at night.

It does have a backlight just hold the button at the bottom down for a couple of seconds and it will come on!

No, it does not. I also own the generation after this and that does not have a backlit screen either. I'm not sure if any of the eInk readers have that feature.
