Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent interference in visibility of a pattern layer arranged on a support body by making a reversible thermal discoloring mask layer have a tone at coloring with a visual density of the same or above or the same or approximate color as to a tone of a reversible thermal discoloring layer having a high visual density. SOLUTION: In a thermal discoloring laminated body 1, a reversible thermal discoloring mask layer 4 and a pattern layer 3 develop into black color when it is cooled to a temperature of about 15 deg.C or lower, so that the whole face shows black color and this appearance is held at a temperature under about 30 deg.C. When the thermal discoloring laminated body 1 which shows the black color is heated to about 30 deg.C or higher, the reversible thermal discoloring mask layer 4 decolorizes and the pattern layer 2 shows a pattern of fish of various colors from the black color. The thermal discoloring laminated layer 1 with the pattern of fish whose color is clear as a whole is visualized. The thermal discoloring laminated body 1 can mask the pattern layer 2 completely and the pattern layer in a state that the reversible thermal discoloring mask layer 4 is decolored is also clear.

The thickness of the reversible thermochromic layer is 5 to 40.
When the thickness is 0 μm, preferably 10 to 50 μm, the above-described thermochromic effect is sufficiently performed. When the thickness exceeds 400 μm, the degree of freedom in setting the discoloration temperature is insufficient in terms of heat conductivity, and it is difficult to satisfy the durability due to repeated use in the layer having a thickness of less than 5 μm. The thickness of the reversible thermochromic hiding layer is 5
The thickness is preferably 0 to 400 μm, and more preferably 70 to 200 μm. If the thickness exceeds 400 μm, the pattern layer becomes unclear, and if it is less than 50 μm, it is difficult to provide sufficient hiding power.
