Functionally, many of these cards have various types of information written and stored using some method. Usually, various types of information are recorded in a magnetic recording layer or an IC provided on the card in a form that is not visible to the naked eye.

It may be preferable that some of the information recorded in C be visible. For example, in the case of a telephone card, it is preferable for the user to be able to see the number of used or remaining powers with the naked eye. It is preferable that the expressway card records and displays the date of use, etc. in a visible manner. In response to such demands, conventional methods have been adopted, such as punching holes in cards so that the roughness can be seen, or printing records on the cards so that they can be seen visually.

等の問題があった。The above-mentioned prior art display methods each have their own problems, and solutions have been sought. For example, in the punching method, it is difficult to display detailed information, and only a rough guideline can be displayed. In addition, in the method of printing records,
Since the surface area of the card itself is small and the area that can be used for one recording is naturally limited, there are problems such as a limit to the amount of information that can be displayed.

It has not yet been put into practical use, probably because there are problems with the weather stability and heat resistance stability of recording. Furthermore, techniques utilizing thermosensitive phase change of materials made of polymer compositions are already known.

This method is known from Japanese Patent No. 5280, etc. These technologies reversibly change between a transparent state and a cloudy state by heat,
In addition, a material made of a polymer composition that maintains the above two states at room temperature is used.

A thermoplastic resin such as vinyl acetate copolymer is used as a matrix, and an insoluble organic low-molecular compound is dispersed in this matrix.

性を示す。[0008] These heat-sensitive recording materials have the property that when kept at a specific temperature above room temperature, ie above T0, the state changes depending on the temperature. That is, in the temperature range higher than T0, there are two state transition temperatures, T1 and T2 (T0<
T1<T2), and when the material is heated to T2 or higher and then cooled to T0 or lower, it becomes cloudy and exhibits minimal light transmittance.

ことになる。[0009] When this cloudy material is heated and maintained at a temperature range of T0 or higher and lower than T1, and then cooled to a temperature below T0, the cloudiness of the material becomes less and the light transmittance increases. Also, T1 or higher,
It becomes transparent when it is heated to a temperature below T2 and then cooled to below T0. Therefore, the material in its minimally transparent state is
After heating and maintaining at a temperature in the range of T0 or higher and lower than T1, T
When cooling to below 0, the heating holding temperature is from T0 to T1.
As the temperature increases, the light transmittance of the material upon cooling will exhibit a continuous light transmittance change from a minimum to a maximum.

As described above, the heat-sensitive recording materials of the prior art exhibit a dependence of light transmittance on thermal history, and their use as recording materials is being considered by utilizing this performance. However, the thermal history dependence of its optical transparency is complex;
The conditions for the heat treatment process to fully develop the performance are severe. Furthermore, the difference in light transmittance caused by thermal history is not necessarily large enough, and improvements are required.

In other words, a composition of a polymer containing a crystalline olefin chain and a crystalline organic low-molecular compound undergoes a reversible change in light transmittance through a simple heat treatment process, and this change is extremely remarkable, and the light transmittance at around room temperature decreases. The inventors have discovered that the resin material has excellent stability over time, and has excellent weather resistance and physical properties as a resin material, and has arrived at the present invention.

It exhibits high light transmittance in the higher temperature range. When this is gradually cooled to room temperature, the organic low-molecular compound crystallizes and scatters light, making the material opaque. However, when rapidly cooled from a molten state, organic low-molecular compounds remain amorphous, or even if they crystallize, growth is inhibited and the crystal size is small, so high visible light scattering does not occur and high light transmittance is maintained. It turns out.

の反復記録材料である。As a result of our studies, we have found that these phenomena can be observed to some extent in combinations of various polymers and crystalline organic low-molecular compounds. However, in general, the organic low-molecular-weight compound in the material does not grow quickly enough to a crystal size sufficient for light scattering, or conversely, the crystal size grows and expands gradually even at room temperature, so when rapidly cooled, It has fatal drawbacks such as extremely low stability over time at room temperature due to its high light transmittance. The effects achieved by the present invention, that is, the excellent effects in terms of thermal history changes in light transmittance, stability over time of light transmittance at room temperature, etc., are surprising. The present invention comprises (a) 100 parts by weight of at least one type of polymer that is substantially transparent at room temperature and contains a crystalline olefin chain;

When printing is performed on this with a thermal head of a printer or the like at a temperature higher than Tm, since the printing area is extremely small, after heating, it is rapidly cooled and transparent characters are printed. Furthermore, if the entire surface is heated again to a temperature higher than Tm after the characters are formed, these characters are erased and printing becomes possible again.
