The present invention relates to an optical recording medium comprising a visible information recording layer comprising a dye denoted by the following general formula (I) on a support. In general formula (I), A denotes a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, substituted aliphatic group, or substituted or unsubstituted carbon ring group, and B denotes a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group. The optical recording medium may further comprise a recording layer capable of recording and/or reproducing information by irradiation of a laser beam. The present invention further relates to a method of recording visible information on the visible information recording layer of the optical recording medium, wherein the visible information is recorded by using the same laser bean as that used in recording on the above recording layer.
本发明涉及一种光学记录介质,该介质包含一个可见光信息记录层,该记录层由以下通式(I)表示的
染料构成,并置于一个支持物上。在通式(I)中,A 表示取代或未取代的杂环基团、取代的脂肪族基团或取代或未取代的碳环基团,B 表示取代或未取代的杂环基团或取代或未取代的芳基。光学记录介质可进一步包括一个记录层,该记录层能够通过激光束的照射记录和/或再现信息。本发明进一步涉及一种在光学记录介质的可见光信息记录层上记录可见光信息的方法,其中可见光信息是通过使用与在上述记录层上记录时相同的激光豆来记录的。
