A thermal sensitive media for use with labeling or identification methods is disclosed. The thermal sensitive media comprises a media layer (102) and a thermally sensitive record layer (104) formed upon at least one surface of the media layer. The thermally sensitive record layer forms a visually discernable colored image in response to heat. However, the colored image is subject to degradation as a result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation within a known photodegradative wavelength range. An ultraviolet protective coating layer (106) may then disposed over the thermally sensitive record layer. A lamination layer (108) is positioned internal to the media layer and comprises a matrix of micro heating elements driven by radio frequency (RF) power. The matrix of micro heating elements are arranged in a pin array to energize the micro heating elements within the laminated media structure to create a simple numeric image. |
