熱転写しておく。The function of the color gradation image display device 5 according to the present invention is that a polymer-liquid crystal composite film 3 in which a liquid crystal 3a is dispersed in a polymer material 3b is used as the recording portion of the recording member 1, and an erasing roller 6 is first used. Then, an electric field is applied to the recording member 1 so that the liquid crystal 3a is oriented in a certain direction, thereby preventing diffuse reflection of light and making it transparent. Next, gradation recording is performed by heating the recording member 1 with the thermal head 8 and controlling the amount of heating. After use, if an electric field is applied again, it becomes transparent and can be reused. In this gradation recording, each color information is recorded in units of pixels in the main scanning direction (or in units of pixels in the sub-scanning direction) of the thermal head 8. A color pattern 17.23 corresponding to the recording position of each color is thermally transferred in advance to another transparent medium using sublimation or molten ink using the same printer.

Then, printing is performed in a different color for each heating resistor of the thermal head 8. in this case,
Color printing is performed by reciprocating between three lines of each color, but as shown in Fig. 4, the pixel interval H1) in the main scanning direction of the thermal head 8 is the same as the interval between the heating resistors, and printing below this I can't. Therefore, it is required to set the pixel interval SO of the thermal head 8 in the sub-scanning direction to Hp and Sp, and to record so that the pattern does not visually appear. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3(B) mentioned above,
It is more effective if a plurality of heat generating parts are provided for one pixel and the aspect ratio of the combined shape of the heat generating parts becomes Hp:Sp.
