Abstract (en)

[origin: JPS634990A] PURPOSE:To obtain a thermal recording material excellent in light resistance, weatherability, oil resistance and optical readability in near infrared region, by incorporating an organic color developer and a fluorence leuco dye as a basic colorless dye into a thermal color forming layer. CONSTITUTION:At least one specified sulfonyldiphenol compound selected from the group consisting of 4,4'-dihydroxyphenylsulfone, 2,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone and bis(3-t-butyl-4-hydorxy-6-methylphenyl)sulfone is incorporated as an organic color developer in a thermal color forming layer, and a fluorene leuco dye of general formula (I) or (II) is incorporated as a basic colorless dye in the layer. When the specified fluorene leuco dye is brought into reaction with an electron-acceptive substance (color developer) in a thermally melted state to form a color, it absorbs light in a near infrared region (particularly, 700-1000 nm) extremely efficiently. Therefore, a thermal recording material excellent in optical readability in the near infrared region can be obtained.
