Optical image-recording material

摘要

An optical image-recording material comprising: (a) microcapsules, in which at least one leuco dye capable of forming a color by oxidation and at least one photo-oxidizing agent are enclosed together, and (b) at least one reducing agent not enclosed in the microcapsules, or (c) microcapsules, in which at least one reducing agent is enclosed, and (d) both at least one leuco dye capable of forming a color by oxidation and at least one photo-oxidizing agent not enclosed in the microcapsules, wherein the microcapsules have capsule walls made from a material which lowers its permeability barrier to at least one component selected from the photo-oxidizing agent and the reducing agent when the capsule wall material is heated above its glass transition temperature, and the leuco dye is a xanthene compound having an N-substituted anilino group substituted by an electron attracting group.
