Lumibrite is based on LumiNova branded pigments, invented in 1993 by the Nemoto & Co., Ltd. staff members Yoshihiko Murayama, Nobuyoshi Takeuchi, Yasumitsu Aoki and Takashi Matsuzawa as a safe replacement for radium-based luminous paints.[1] The invention was patented in 1994 by Nemoto & Co., Ltd. and licensed to other manufacturers and watch brands.[2]
This kind of luminescent pigment glows brighter for longer than the previous generation of luminescent pigment paints, and is environmentally friendly (non radioactive).[3][4][5][6]
