<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal recording medium with high durability, which is excellent in repeated recording characteristics and light fastness. <P>SOLUTION: In this thermal recording medium 10, at least one functional layer 5 is formed as a film in the surface direction of a supporting substrate 1. In the functional layer 5, a photothermal conversion layer 2, which contains a photothermal conversion material generating heat by absorbing laser light in a specific wave range, and a recording layer 4, wherein a thermal color-developable composition comprising at least a coloring compound with electron-donating properties and a developing/reducing reagent with electron-accepting properties is contained in a resin, are formed via a barrier layer 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
