Attorney, Agent or Firm: Price and Gess

A luminous wristwatch capable of exhibiting a sense of play and ensuring safety of a wearer of the wristwatch. The luminous wristwatch includes a watch face and a belt member each provided thereon with a plurality of light emitters which carry out luminescence upon feeding of electricity thereto. The watch face and belt member each are formed to be light-permeable so that luminescence of the light emitters may be externally visible therethrough. Also, the luminous wristwatch includes a watch body which is provided with an operation button and a control section for controlling on-off operation of the light emitters upon operation of the operation button.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing disadvantage of the prior art.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a luminous wristwatch which is capable of exhibiting a sense of play.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a luminous wristwatch which is capable of ensuring safety of a wristwatch wearer during walking or the like in the night.
In accordance with the present invention, a luminous wristwatch is provided.
The luminous wristwatch includes a watch body, a watch face and a belt or wrist band member.
The watch face and belt member each are provided with a plurality of light emitters which emit light upon feeding of electricity thereto.
Also, the watch face and belt member each are formed to be light-permeable so that light emitted from the light emitters may be externally observed therethrough.
The watch body is provided thereon with an operation button and a control section for controlling on-off operation of the light emitters upon operation of the operation button.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the watch body is provided with a sensor for detecting vibration applied to the wristwatch and/or inclination thereof and a control button for rendering the sensor effective.
The control section controls on-off operation of the light emitters depending on the vibration and/or inclination during operation of the control button.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light emitters each are constituted by an electroluminescent material.
This permits display of a pattern or design of any desired configuration.
