Abstract

A transfer sheet includes a supporting substrate, a photothermal conversion layer disposed on the supporting substrate, and a passive layer disposed on the photothermal conversion layer.

Claims (13)

1. A transfer sheet comprising:

a supporting substrate;

a photothermal conversion layer disposed on the supporting substrate;

a metallic material layer formed on the photothermal conversion layer;

a passive layer disposed on the metallic material layer; and

a transfer layer composed of an organic material, the transfer layer being disposed directly on a surface of the passive layer,

wherein the passive layer is formed by oxidizing a surface of the metallic material layer including at least one of aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and nickel (Ni), the metallic material layer being disposed on the photothermal conversion layer.

2. The transfer sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the passive layer is an oxidized upper portion of the metallic material layer disposed on the photothermal conversion layer; and

the metallic material layer is composed of a metal that forms passivity and reacts with either moisture or oxygen or both moisture and oxygen.

3. The transfer sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising an antireflection layer formed between the supporting substrate and the photothermal conversion layer.

4. The transfer sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the photothermal conversion layer includes chromium (Cr) or molybdenum (Mo).

5. The transfer sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic material layer includes an alloy selected from the group consisting of aluminum (Al) and neodymium (Nd), and a stainless steel composed of iron (Fe)-nickel (Ni)-chromium (Cr).
