Abstract

A reversible recording medium according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a reversible recording medium that includes recording layers and heat-insulating layers that are alternately stacked, in which the recording layers each include a reversible heat-sensitive color developing composition and a first light-heat converting agent. In this reversible recording medium, the recording layers are different from each other in a developing color of their respective reversible heat-sensitive color developing compositions and are different from each other in an absorption wavelength of their respective first light-heat converting agents. This reversible recording medium further includes a heat-generating layer that includes a second light-heat converting agent having an absorption wavelength that is different from the absorption wavelength of the first light-heat converting agent included in each of the recording layers.

Claims (22)

1. A reversible recording medium, comprising recording layers and heat-insulating layers that are alternately stacked on a base material,

the recording layers each including a reversible heat-sensitive color developing composition and a first light-heat converting agent,

the recording layers being different from each other in a developing color of their respective reversible heat-sensitive color developing compositions and being different from each other in an absorption wavelength of their respective first light-heat converting agents,

wherein at least one of the plurality recording layers including a second light-heat converting agent having an absorption wavelength that is different from the absorption wavelength of the first light-heat converting agent included in each of the recording layers.

2. The reversible recording medium according to claim 1 ,

further comprising an underlayer that is in contact with a surface of on the base material.

3. The reversible recording medium according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a protective layer on outermost surface of the reversible recording medium.

4. The reversible recording medium according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a protective layer on a surface of on the base material.

5. The reversible recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the absorption wavelength of the second light-heat converting agent is a wavelength that is higher than the absorption wavelength of the first light-heat converting agent included in each of the recording layers.

6. A reversible recording medium, comprising recording layers and heat-insulating layers that are alternately stacked on a base material,

the recording layers each including a reversible heat-sensitive color developing composition and a first light-heat converting agent,

the recording layers being different from each other in a developing color of their respective reversible heat-sensitive color developing compositions and being different from each other in an absorption wavelength of their respective first light-heat converting agents,

wherein at least one layer in contact with at least one of the plurality recording layers including a second light-heat converting agent having an absorption wavelength that is different from the absorption wavelength of the first light-heat converting agent included in each of the recording layers.

7. The reversible recording medium according to claim 6 ,

further comprising an underlayer that is in contact with a surface of on the base material.

8. The reversible recording medium according to claim 6 ,

further comprising a protective layer on outermost surface of the reversible recording medium.

9. The reversible recording medium according to claim 6 ,

further comprising a protective layer on a surface of on the base material.
