PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit rewriting, reduced in scattered light reflected from a recording medium, by a method wherein the crystallizing condition of a liquid crystal, in which the ratio of fore light scattering is larger compared with rear light scattering, is obtained. SOLUTION: The recording layer 3 of a reversible recording body is constituted of a liquid crystal compound or a recording material, containing the liquid crystal compound and pinched between two sheets of substrates 2, 4 wherein at least one of them is transparent, while the recording layer 3 can be formed so as to have a crystallizing condition that the strength of fore scattering is stronger than a rear scattering strength by cooling the recording material gradually from an isotropic phase or a liquid crystal phase. A reversible recording method forms the crystallizing condition, in which the fore scattering strength is stronger than the rear scattering strength, by gradually cooling the recording material of the reversible recording medium from an isotropic phase or a liquid crystal phase. |
