The operating principle of this optical recording medium is to use the properties of photochromic compounds that produce reversible color changes when exposed to two types of light sources with different wavelengths to store binary information about changes in light absorption, transmission range, or reflectance. Methods for manufacturing optical recording media in which an organic photochromic compound is formed on a substrate as a recording layer of an optical recording medium include Cast Arashi, polymer dispersion casting method, vacuum evaporation method, and Langmuir-Prodgett method (hereinafter abbreviated as LB method). Although methods such as ) are known, the LB method in particular has excellent controllability of the photochromic reaction of the recording layer and stability of the film thickness when forming the bottom film, but there are still problems to be solved by the invention. In order to impart surface activity to the compound that forms a monomolecular film at the air-water interface, it is necessary for the photochromic compound C to have a long hydrocarbon chain as a substituent in the molecular structure that exhibits the photochromic reaction.For this purpose, the LB method is used. When using photochromic compounds as a manufacturing method for optical recording media (photochromic compounds without long hydrocarbon chains) water-soluble photochromic compounds (negative)
As a means of forming a bottom film with a compound that cannot be applied to the LB method due to material limitations in the production of the recording layer, it is not possible to form a stable monomolecular film at the air-water interface.
However, in this method, the photochromic compound is diluted by the matrix molecules, so the optical density per unit area becomes smaller. Teshima 1. % In the production of optical recording media that require a high optical density, there was an issue of inefficiency.In addition, this method traps the compound between the matrices, resulting in agglomeration of the photochromic compound and the possibility of agglomeration of the compound phase and the matrix phase. There are also problems such as separation, etc. In the case of water-soluble photochromic compounds,
It dissolves from within the mixed monolayer. On the other hand, the LB method by forming a mixed film can produce a homogeneous recording layer.Means to solve the problem that the above-mentioned material limitations could not be overcome A monomolecular film is formed at the air-water interface by forming a salt with a cationic surfactant having a hydrogen chain.

By forming a salt with a cationic surfactant, it is possible to impart surface activity to a photochromic compound that originally does not have surface activity, and it is possible to form a stable monomolecular film of the photochromic compound at the air-water interface. By doing so, it is possible to effectively utilize the optical density of the applied compound, and it is possible to form a homogeneous recording layer using the LB method. Although Compound A has a carboxyl group at the 8-position of the pyran ring, this molecule does not have a long hydrocarbon chain, and the LB method could not previously be applied to this molecule. Furthermore, since it has a carboxyl group, it is water-soluble and exhibits a stable photochromic reaction as a colored body.
