REVERSIBLE THERMAL RECORDING MEDIUM WITH NON-CONTACT TYPE IC TAG, RECORD ERASING DEVICE THEREFOR, AND REWRITABLE RECORDER THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of uneven color erasing and uneven color development by preventing thermal damage to a non-contact type IC tag, when a reversible thermal recording medium with the non-contact type IC tag undergoes color erasing treatment and color developing treatment.

SOLUTION: In the reversible thermal recording medium 2, a heat-sensitive layer, whose color is reversibly erased/developed by heating, is provided on a substrate. In the reversible thermal recording medium 1 with the non-contact type IC tag 3, the non-contact type IC tag 3 is stuck on one surface of the medium 2; and a color-erasing heating means 13 for erasing the color of the heat-sensitive layer by the heating and a color-developing heating head 14 for developing the color of the heat-sensitive layer by the heating heat only an area, whereon the IC tag 3 is not stuck, of the medium 2.
