There are disclosed imaging members wherein a chemical compound in a crystalline form is converted, at least partially, and preferably substantially completely or completely, to a liquid in the amorphous form, the liquid having intrinsically a different color from the crystalline form. Also described are imaging methods utilizing the imaging members. The conversion of the compound from the crystalline form to the liquid form can be effected by the application of thermal energy or by other imaging techniques.
本文披露了成像成员,其中
化学化合物以晶体形式至少部分地转化为液体形式,最好是基本完全或完全转化,液体的颜色与晶体形式本质上不同。还描述了利用这些成像成员的成像方法。将化合物从晶体形式转化为液体形式可以通过施加热能或其他成像技术来实现。
