摘要:
In an information recording medium having a recording layer for recording information by heating through incoming energy, at least one of an interference layer and an absorption layer for the incoming energy is provided on the energy-incoming side of the recording layer to reduce the reflected energy from the information recording medium and increase the quantity of heat input into the recording layer. The temperature of the recording layer is rapidly enhanced, and rapid writing is made possible thereby. Writing or erasing can be made with less incoming energy, and thus the writing sensitivity or erasing sensitivity of the information recording medium can be increased.

摘要:
A recording material made of an alloy capable of exhibiting different spectral reflectances at an equal temperature, depending on a heating-cooling cycle to which the alloy is subjected. The alloy can possess in solid state different crystal structures at a first temperature higher than the room temperature and at a second temperature lower than the first temperature but not lower than the room temperature. A part of the surface of the alloy exhibits, as a result of being quenched from the first temperature, a crystal structure which is different from the crystal structure at the second temperature, while the other part possesses the crystal structure at the second temperature, so that these two parts exhibit different spectral reflectances. Using this recording medium, it is possible to record, reproduce and erase information by means of, for example, laser beams.

摘要:
An active matrix type liquid-crystal display device wherein a plurality of gate wiring lines and drain wiring lines which cross perpendicularly to each other are laid on a first of two insulating substrates. The gate wiring lines and the drain wiring lines are electrically insulated from each other at areas where they crossover each other and thin-film transistors are respectively arranged near the individual crossover areas with their respective source electrodes connected to corresponding ones of transparent pixel electrodes disposed near the source electrodes, with their respective drain electrodes connected to the drain wiring lines, and with their respective gate electrodes connected to the gate wiring lines. The above structure, which includes the first insulating substrate, is covered with either only alignment layers or both protective insulating layers and alignment layers. Sets of transparent electrodes and alignment layers, each of the sets being opposite to a corresponding one of the transparent pixel electrodes, are disposed on a second of the two insulating substrates, the second insulating substrate being transparent and being located in opposition to the first insulating substrate. A liquid crystal is held between the two insulating substrates. The gate wiring lines as well as the drain wiring lines, and the transparent electrodes which are opposite to the wiring lines on the transparent insulating substrate are connected to liquid-crystal driver circuits which are provided outside the liquid-crystal display device. The improvement to the liquid crystal display device comprises the fact that the drain wiring lines, and the drain electrodes and the source electrodes of the thin-film transistors are formed of the same material as that of the transparent pixel electrodes, and that the transparent pixel electrodes are made thinner than the drain wiring parts.

Disclosed also is an information recording medium made of the alloy. The alloy exhibits a reversible change in color or spectral reflectance as a result of change between two crystal phases, so that the information recording medium produced from this alloy can be used effectively as the medium for recording, regeneration and erasion of the informations.
