Description
(A) 産業上の利用分野
本発明は感熱記録材料に関し、特に熱応答性、
画像保存性を向上させた感熱記録材料に関する。
(B) 従来技術
感熱記録材料は一般に支持体上に電子供与性の
通常無色ないし淡色の染料前駆体と電子受容性の
顕色剤とを主成分とする感熱記録層を設けたもの
で、熱ヘツド、熱ペン、レーザー光等で加熱する
ことにより染料前駆体と顕色剤とが瞬時反応し、
記録画像が得られるもので、特公昭43−4160号、
特公昭45−14039号公報等に開示されている。こ
のような感熱記録材料は比較的簡単な装置で記録
が得られ、保守が容易であること、騒音の発生が
ないことなどの利点があり、計測用記録計、フア
クシミリ、プリンター、コンピユーターの端末
機、ラベル、乗車券自動券売機など広範囲の分野
に利用されている。
感熱記録材料に要求される基本的性能として
は、十分な発色画像濃度及び感度をもつこと、経
時による発色画像の劣化がないことなどがある。
また、近年、印字記録の高速化が進められ記録装
置自体の高速化と共にそれに対応できる記録材
料、すなわち低い熱エネルギーで高濃度の発色画
像が得られる熱応答性に優れている感熱記録材料
の開発が望まれている。さらに感熱記録材料が広
く用いられるようになるとともに整髪料、ハンド
クリームや皮膚の汗に含まれる油脂類などの油状
物の付着による画像の保存性（耐脂性）等の特性
も要求されるようになり、熱応答性、画像保存性
を十分満たすように感熱記録材料が望まれるよう
になつてきた。
従来より高濃度の発色画像を得るために各種添
加剤を記録層中に含有させる方法が知られてい
る。例えば、特公昭43−4160号には尿素、無水フ
タル酸、アセトアニリド等を、特公昭48−19231
号には密ろう、カルナウバろう、パラフインワツ
クス等の天然及び合成ワツクス類を、特公昭49−
17748号にはサリチル酸、フタル酸モノベンジル
エステル等を添加する方法が開示されている。
また、画像保存性を向上させるために、ビス
（４−ヒドロキシフエニル）スルホンを顕色剤と
して用いる事が特開昭58−119893号に記載されて
いる。
しかしながら、熱応答性が悪く十分な濃度が得
られなかつたり、高濃度の画像が得られても保存
性が悪く、経時的に劣化する等の欠点があり満足
できるものは得られていない。
(C) 発明の目的
本発明の目的は、さらに熱応答性、画像保存性
に優れた感熱記録材料を得る事にある。
(D) 発明の構成
通常無色ないし、淡色の染料前駆体と、加熱時
反応して該染料前駆体を発色せしめる顕色剤とを
含有する感熱記録材料において、該顕色剤として
一般式(1)で示される化合物を含有させ、さらに２
−ベンジルチオナフタレンを含有する事により、
熱応答性、画像保存性に優れた感熱記録材料を得
ることができた。
一般式(1)
（式中Ｒはアルキル基、アルコキシ基、アラルキ
ルオキシ基又はハロゲン原子を表わす）
顕色剤として、一般式(1)で示される化合物を使
用する事により、画像保存性の良好な感熱記録材
料を得ることができるが、熱応答性が満足できる
ものでなく、添加剤を種々検討したところ、２−
ベンジルチオナフタレンを添加する事により、熱
応答性が向上した。一般式(1)で示される化合物の
具体例としては、４−ヒドロキシ−4′−メチルジ
フエニルスルホン、４−ヒドロキシ−4′−イソプ
ルピルオキシジフエニルスルホン、４−クロロ−
4′−ヒドロキシジフエニルスルホン、４−ベンジ
ルオキシ−4′−ヒドロキシジフエニルスルホン等
が挙げられる。
本発明による一般式(1)で示される化合物及び２
−ベンジルチオナフタレンは、通常染料前駆体に
体して各々５重量％以上添加される。
好ましい量は10−600重量％であり、特に20−
500重量％が好ましい。添加量が５重量％未満で
は、熱応答性、画像保存性が十分でなく、600重
量％より多い添加では熱ヘツド等への熱可融物付
着が増加し、印字障害が生じる場合もある。
また、ステアリン酸アミド、Ｎ−ヒドロキシメ
チルステアリン酸アミド等の融点80℃〜160℃の
熱可融物を添加する事により熱応答性がさらに向
上する。
本発明の感熱記録材料に用いられる主な成分を
以下に具体的に説明する。
染料前駆体としては、トリフエニルメタン系、
フルオラン系、ジフエニルメタン系、チアジン
系、スピロピラン系化合物などが挙げられる。例
えば、クリスタルバイオレツトラクトン、３−ジ

(A) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material, and in particular, heat-responsive, heat-responsive,
This invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material with improved image storage properties. (B) Prior art A heat-sensitive recording material generally has a heat-sensitive recording layer on a support, the main components of which are an electron-donating, usually colorless or light-colored dye precursor and an electron-accepting color developer. By heating with a head, hot pen, laser light, etc., the dye precursor and developer react instantly.
This allows recorded images to be obtained, and is designated as Special Publication No. 43-4160.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 14039/1983. These heat-sensitive recording materials have the advantages of being able to record with relatively simple equipment, being easy to maintain, and producing no noise. It is used in a wide range of fields such as , labels, and automatic ticket vending machines. The basic performances required of a heat-sensitive recording material include sufficient color image density and sensitivity, and no deterioration of color images over time.
In addition, in recent years, the speed of print recording has been increasing, and as the speed of recording devices themselves has increased, we have also developed recording materials that can cope with this, that is, heat-sensitive recording materials with excellent thermal responsiveness that can produce high-density colored images with low thermal energy. is desired. Furthermore, as heat-sensitive recording materials became widely used, properties such as image preservation (grease resistance) due to the adhesion of oily substances such as hair products, hand creams, and oils and fats contained in skin sweat were also required. As a result, heat-sensitive recording materials that satisfactorily satisfy thermal responsiveness and image storage stability have become desirable. Conventionally, methods have been known in which various additives are incorporated into the recording layer in order to obtain colored images with high density. For example, urea, phthalic anhydride, acetanilide, etc. are listed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-4160;
The issue includes natural and synthetic waxes such as beeswax, carnauba wax, and paraffin wax.
No. 17748 discloses a method of adding salicylic acid, phthalic acid monobenzyl ester, etc. Further, in order to improve image storage stability, the use of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) sulfone as a color developer is described in JP-A-58-119893. However, they have disadvantages such as poor thermal response, making it impossible to obtain sufficient density, and even if high-density images are obtained, they have poor storage stability and deteriorate over time, so that no satisfactory product has been obtained. (C) Object of the invention The object of the invention is to obtain a heat-sensitive recording material that is further excellent in thermal response and image storage stability. (D) Structure of the Invention In a heat-sensitive recording material containing a normally colorless or light-colored dye precursor and a color developer that reacts with the dye precursor when heated to develop a color, the color developer is a compound of the general formula (1). ), and further contains 2
-By containing benzylthionaphthalene,
A heat-sensitive recording material with excellent heat responsiveness and image storage stability could be obtained. General formula (1) (In the formula, R represents an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyloxy group, or a halogen atom) By using a compound represented by the general formula (1) as a color developer, a heat-sensitive recording material with good image storage stability can be obtained. However, the thermal response was not satisfactory, and after examining various additives, we found that 2-
Thermal response was improved by adding benzylthionaphthalene. Specific examples of the compound represented by general formula (1) include 4-hydroxy-4'-methyldiphenylsulfone, 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropyloxydiphenylsulfone, 4-chloro-
Examples include 4'-hydroxydiphenylsulfone and 4-benzyloxy-4'-hydroxydiphenylsulfone. Compounds represented by general formula (1) and 2 according to the present invention
- Benzylthionaphthalene is usually added in an amount of 5% by weight or more based on the dye precursor. Preferred amounts are 10-600% by weight, especially 20-600% by weight.
500% by weight is preferred. If the amount added is less than 5% by weight, thermal responsiveness and image storage stability will not be sufficient, and if the amount added is more than 600% by weight, adhesion of thermofusible substances to the thermal head etc. will increase and printing problems may occur. Further, by adding a thermofusible substance having a melting point of 80°C to 160°C, such as stearamide or N-hydroxymethylstearamide, the thermal responsiveness can be further improved. The main components used in the heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention will be specifically explained below. As a dye precursor, triphenylmethane type,
Examples include fluoran-based, diphenylmethane-based, thiazine-based, and spiropyran-based compounds. For example, crystal violet lactone, 3-diethylamino-7-methylfluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-chloro-7-methylfluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-chlorofluorane, 3-diethylamino-7 -anilinofluorane, 3-diethylamino-7-(2-

(E) Examples The present invention will be explained in more detail with examples. Example 1 10 g of 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane was dispersed in a ball mill for 24 hours with 30 g of a 2% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution.
