Abstract

PURPOSE:To chemically develop or discharge a color only by controlling thermal energy by providing a color developer/subtractor which is the salts of bis(hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid or bis(hydroxyphenyl) butyric acid and higher aliphatic amine. CONSTITUTION:A recording medium consists of a recording layer containing a leuco compound, a color developer/subtractor which develops or subtracts a color due to thermal reaction with the leuco compound and a binder as main components, provided on a support. The color developer/subtractor is the salts of bis(hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid or bis(hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid and higher aliphatic amine. More clearly, coating liquid for a recording layer is obtained by dissolving the binder in a coating liquid prepared by dispersing or dissolving dye in water or an organic solvent, and adding thickener or white pigment as liquid quality improver. This coating liquid is applied to a support such as paper, plastic film or sheet, and then is dried to form a recording layer.

<Operation> The principles of recording, ie, image formation and erasing, of the recording medium of the present invention are as follows. Colorless leuco dyes and phenolic compounds change color from colorless to colored when the lactone ring of the colorless leuco dye is opened by thermal energy. but,
When a colored compound with an open lactone ring contacts a basic substance, the ring closes and returns to the original colorless compound with a lactone ring. A compound formed into a salt by a combination of a specific compound of bis(hydroxyphenyl)acetate or bis(hydroxyphenyl)butyric acid as a phenolic compound and an alkylamine as a basic compound, that is, a color developer/subtractor is a colorless leuko By simply controlling the thermal energy of the dye, the lactone ring can be opened to form a colored compound, or the ring can be closed to return it to a colorless leuco compound. This phenomenon is
This is due to the structure of the color developer and the reversibility of the leuco dye.
