Founding History
Engineer Albert Arenburg had an idea: sleeping cars should only to be lit where necessary – to avoid disturbing passengers in their sleep. That would significantly enhance travel comfort. Luminator has preserved this basic idea until the present day: making public transport more attractive with innovations.

1970
ARRIVAL OF THE FLIP DOT DISPLAYDestination boards at this time were static signs displayed at the front of the vehicle. At the end of the run, the driver had to hop off and change them manually. Subsequent roller blind displays were rotated with a crank, and flip dot displays provided increased efficiency: The lettering was digitally controlled and automatically changed.

Arrival of the “YELLOW BOX”Ten years later, the programming of flip dots became more efficient. Up until then, in the event of route changes, chips had to be removed, deleted, newly programmed and re-installed. The patented solution was a portable, electrically erasable and easy-to-program memory unit. New destinations could be relayed directly to the control interface.
