Optical recording medium and method of reproducing information record on the optical recording medium

摘要

Disclosed is an optical recording medium having recording film containing a photochromic material and a binder, in which the photochromic material is acid anhydride of diarylethene derivative and the binder is polycarbonate. Owing to this structure, the optical recording medium can reliably keep information recorded thereon even when the information is repeatedly reproduced.
