Abstract

PURPOSE:To make possible to record two or more states with one kind of a compd. by composing a recording medium of a specified photochromic compd. CONSTITUTION:The recording layer contg. a monomer (A) of the photochromic compd. shown by the formula and its associate (B) is mounted on the medium. In the formula, R is 1-31C alkyl group. And, the recording layer is composed of a Langmuir-Blodgetts membrane, and a separating layer composed of a prescribed substance is preferably interposed between said layers. And the recording state of the medium is preferably detected with absorption or fluores cence. By constituting as mentioned above, the recordings of two or more of states brought from a combination of the monomer having different absorption or fluorescence spectrum and the associate make possible, thereby obtaining the medium having a high density.

2. Description of the Related Art Photochromic materials have been known as materials that can reversibly change color when exposed to two types of light sources with different wavelengths. Spiropyran is a typical example. Although an optical recording medium based on binary storage has been proposed by utilizing these reversibilities (Japanese Patent Publication No. 205187/1987), no examples have been found of this being put to practical use.
