Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to make clear visible information, to enhance beauty and to facilitate reading the visible information, by a method wherein at least one colored layer and a thin metallic film layer as a thermal recording layer are provided on a base, and the metallic layer is partially broken by a heating means. CONSTITUTION:The thermal recording medium 1 comprises a sheet form or plate form base 2 on which the colored layer 3 and the thin metallic film layer 4 as a thermal recording layer are provided. Visible information is recorded by breaking the metallic layer by a laser beam. By selecting the hue of the colored layer, a thermal recording medium capable of recording information with various color tones and contrasts is obtained. The base 2 consists of nylon, cellulose diacetate or the like, which may be used singly or in combination as a composite material. The colored layer 3 is provided by adding various pigments to a binder such as ethyl cellulose, arbitrarily adding a plasticizer or a stabilizer, and applying the resultant material to a desired part of the base 2 by a conventional coating or printing method.
