摘要

A rewritable recording medium which can perform multi-color recording is provided. The recording medium comprises an optical absorption layer and an optically selective absorption layer sequentially stacked on a substrate, wherein the optically selective absorption layer includes a plurality of colored segments and a reversible thermosensitive recording matrix in contact with the colored segments, the reversible thermosensitive recording matrix being formed so as to cover the colored segments and so as to come in contact with the optical absorption layer, and changing in light transmittance in a reversible manner by application of heat.
