Indiglo backlight - unrivaled technology
Indiglo technology was developed 30 years ago, although attempts to create illumination in the watch were made much earlier - unfortunately, the use of electricity put a strain on the battery to the point that watches from other manufacturers were more likely to fail. Attempts with illumination of the luminescent coating also failed, as the material quickly lost its properties, causing the luminescence effect to disappear too quickly.
Timex, however, has developed a way to make its backlighting not based solely on one technique or the other. Indiglo is a revolutionary solution that relies on using high voltage to excite phosphor atoms that produce light. The company's patent includes a layered backlighting system that ultimately results in a pleasing light in a very distinctive blue-green color. Indiglo backlighting has another advantage - when it starts to fade or disappear, it signals to replace the battery.
