I have a recent SONY model, and it uses a miniature fluorescent light. I had 
a problem with my first one though. After the unit had been on and warmed up 
for a while, a couple of the pixels would remain continuously in the 
transmissive mode (this was an active matrix set). I have heard that the 
defect free yield rates on these displays is one of the factors that is 
keeping prices high. Any comments on this?
