| 摘要 |
The present invention provides an optical recording medium, comprising a substrate; a recording layer formed on or above the substrate, which is capable of recording and reproducing information by irradiation with a laser beam; and an image-recording layer whereon a visible image is recordable, the image-recording layer being formed on the opposite side of the recording layer from the surface on which the irradiation with a laser beam is applied. The image-recording layer contains a dye as a primary component, which has an absorption maximum in a light wavelength region of 450 to 650 nm. The dye has an absorbance of 0.05 or more to at least one laser beam with a wavelength within any of the regions from 350 to 450 nm, from 600 to 700 nm, or from 750 to 850 nm. The invention also provides a method of recording an image using the optical recording medium.
