In 2004, Hewlett-Packard's imaging and optical storage divisions jointly brought LightScribe to market which allowed specially-coated CD and DVD discs to be burned on the non-data side with labels using the drive's 780nm infrared laser. Both the disc and the drive have to be LightScribe-compatible. The engineering technology was conceived by HP engineer Daryl Anderson and the chemistry of the coating was developed by Dr. Marakard Gore. The technology was licensed to multiple drive manufacturers besides HP, (e.g., Samsung, LaCie, and LightOn), and software developers. By 2005 the feature was supported by "most" popular burning/labeling software, including CyberLink, Sonic, and InterVideo, and two of the largest manufacturers of disc storage media, Moder Baer India Ltd. and Mitsubishi Chemicals, were making discs with the required coating available. The discs were given a unique code on the reverse (non-data) side that allowed the drive to calculate a precise rotational position, and also to disable the LightScribe function if the disc lacked the code. The labels can only be etched in shades of gray, although a wide variety of background colors on the discs have been made available.By 2005, Fujifilm Corporation and Yamaha Corporation's LabelFlash technology had already become the major competitor for LightScribe and it appears now that LightScribe is being phased out by drive manufacturers, since LG was described as the only remaining manufacturer of LightScribe-capable drives after June 2013 and all 16 LightScribe drive models on LG's website are marked discontinued, while LabelFlash-enabled drives on Pioneer's website, for example, are not. (Numerous Internet sites still offer LightScribe-enabled discs, however.) The two technologies are incompatible with each other, meaning that LightScribe discs cannot be labeled by a LabelFlash drive, or vice-versa, although data can still be burned on the storage side.LightScribe and LabelFlash technologies each have their own features and drawbacks. For example, LightScribe can burn a label more than once, to enhance the blackness and contrast of an image or to add data to a previously-burned label, while LabelFlash is a one-time process. LightScribe images were described as subject to fading under high temperature or humidity conditions or sunlight, or if exposed to certain hand lotion or hair care chemicals when handling them, while the LabelFlash discs were described as more resistant.The software module is described as safe but can be disabled, preferably from the HP driver software, if the user does not intend to activate the drive's LightScribe capability.
