Abstract:
There is disclosed an optical information record medium having an optical information record layer on a transparent substrate, in which the transparent substrate is made of a resin material mainly consisting of a polycarbonate resin that contains no more than 4 wt % of low molecular weight fractions having a weight average measured with respect to a polystyrene molecular weight of no more than 3500, in order to avoid a double refraction of an optical information record medium resulting in an improved signal to noise ratio and having superior thermal-transformation resistance and impact resistance.
Abstract:
A wavelength multiplexed optical recording material is disclosed wherein a photosensitive material including substituted porphine, such as tetra(pentafluorophenyl) porphine or tetra(4-methoxyphenyl) porphine, is uniformly dispersed into an optically transparent dispersion medium. When such wavelength multiplexed optical recording material is cooled to a temperature of liquid helium and irradiated with a laser beam, a large number of holes of narrow width are formed in an inhomogenous absorption band under the phenomenon of photochemical hole burning. As compared to unsubstituted porphine, the above porphine derivatives give an improved recording sensitivity and narrow hole width.

Abstract:
A method for forming a color image includes a step of spraying three kinds of photoconductive toners with a sensitization wavelength band different from its absorption wavelength band, a step of electrically charging these different toners, a step of exposing these sprayed and electrically charged photoconductive toners to light for selectively removing electrostatic charges, and a step of removing the toners freed of electrostatic charges from the substrate. The magenta color photoconductive toners sensitive to red light, yellow color photoconductive toners sensitive to green light, and the cyan color photoconductive toners sensitive to blue light, are used as aforementioned three kinds of photoconductive colors.
