The thickness of the card substrate 11 is 0.1 mm to
It is about 2.0 mm. On the other hand, by displaying the patient's name and the like on the card base material 11 in embossed characters (concave and convex characters), it is possible to achieve convenience when issuing a receipt or a certificate. For example, one that complies with ISO standards (hard vinyl chloride,
If the thickness is 0.76 mm, embossed characters can be displayed on the card base material 11.

The magnetic recording portion 12 is provided by applying or printing a magnetic material on the card base material 11, or by embedding the magnetic material in the card base material 11. The patient ID and the hospital code for identifying the medical examination card 10 are readablely recorded in the magnetic recording unit 12.
The magnetic recording portion 12 is not necessarily limited to the position as in the embodiment, and a part or almost the entire area of one surface or a partial area of both surfaces (one surface of which is substantially the entire area). It is possible).

The rewritable display section 13 is a section for displaying the details of appointments for return visits and is a rewritable display section. When the medical examination card 10 is issued to a patient,
The rewritable display unit 13 displays the patient's ID number and name. Then, when a re-examination reservation is made by the reservation machine, the re-examination reservation date and time, the department name and the name of the doctor in charge are displayed.

For the rewritable display unit 13, for example, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-325899 is used. As the material forming the rewritable display part 13, a phase change recording material, a polymer liquid crystal, a reversible thermosensitive recording material using a leuco dye system, other thermochromic material, photochromic material, polymer-liquid crystal composite film, magnetic material. , And electrochromic materials.

The phase-change type recording material is a material that changes between amorphous and crystalline at or around the transition temperature, or that changes its crystal form, or is blended with a polymer material to be compatible or incompatible depending on the temperature range. It can be changed. Specific examples include Ge, Te, Se, Sb, and I, such as an antimony-tellurium-selenium thin film, an indium-selenium-thallium thin film, and a germanium-antimony-tellurium thin film.
Inorganic thin film mainly composed of elements such as n, Sn, etc., utilizing a change between amorphous crystals, utilizing a phase transition of a liquid crystal polymer, lauric acid dispersed in a polymer matrix such as polyester There are those utilizing changes in the crystal form of higher fatty acids such as dodecanoic acid and behenic acid, and those utilizing changes in the crystal form of crystalline polymers.

As the polymer liquid crystal, there can be used a liquid crystal which develops a color in a temperature range from the transition temperature to the decomposition temperature, and maintains the color development when rapidly cooled to the transition temperature or lower, and loses the color when cooled to the transition temperature or lower. . For example, a crystal state change by controlling the orientation and aggregation state of a mesogen group having liquid crystallinity of the side chain type polymer liquid crystal may be mentioned.

The above-mentioned phase-change recording material and polymer liquid crystal are of a type that is changed by applying heat. In addition, any thermochromic material that can reversibly develop and decolor by heating control. It can be used as appropriate.

The photochromic material is one in which the absorption spectrum of a crystal, glass, molecule or complex is reversibly changed by light irradiation, and specific examples include spiropyran-based compounds and fulgide-based compounds.

The polymer-liquid crystal composite film utilizes a change in the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules dispersed and held in a polymer material, which is controlled by the action of an electric field and heat. Methacrylate, polycarbonate,
A liquid crystal having a memory property (a smectic liquid crystal is most preferable) is dispersed and held in a polymer matrix such as polyvinyl alcohol in a form encapsulated in microcapsules, and the alignment state of the liquid crystal changes according to the application of an electric field. One that changes and that state is maintained. The polymer
As a method for writing / erasing information to / from the liquid crystal composite film, writing is performed using a heating means such as a thermal head, and erasing is performed by applying an electric field using an electrode or corona discharge.
Although the above-mentioned polymer-liquid crystal composite film uses heat and an electric field, other electronic materials capable of reversible display using an electric field can be appropriately used.

The leuco dye-based reversible thermosensitive recording material comprises a leuco dye, which is a basic dye, and a color developer that develops or reduces color thermally (color-reducing agent), and has properties of both an acidic component and a base component. A system using a compound having
A system using an acidic substance having an alkyl group as a developer is known. For example, in the case of a system using the above-mentioned color-reducing agent, when an acidic substance is brought into contact with a basic leuco dye, the lactone ring in the leuco dye is opened to form a color developing system. Conversely, when a basic substance comes into contact with the dye which is a coloring system, the lactone ring closes and returns to the original colorless leuco body (color reduction effect). This phenomenon of coloring and decoloring can be performed by controlling heat by using a compound (developing color reducing agent) having a group having a color developing effect and a group having a color reducing effect. Specific examples of the color reducing agent include salts of gallic acid and higher aliphatic amines, salts of dihydroxybenzoic acid and aliphatic amines, and crystal violet lactone as a leuco compound.

The magnetic material uses a change in the state of the horizontal (reflection) -vertical (transmission) direction by applying a magnetic field to the orientation of the magnetic particles. Specifically, the magnetic particles (soft magnetic material) are encapsulated. A magnetic sheet dispersed in a polymer resin can be used. The rewritable display unit 13 is provided by directly applying or printing on the entire surface of the card base material 11 or a part of the formed surface, only one surface or both surfaces in consideration of the installation location of the magnetic recording unit 12 to be installed. It is formed, or is transferred or attached.
