    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit rewriting, reduced in scattered light reflected from a recording medium, by a method wherein the crystallizing condition of a liquid crystal, in which the ratio of fore light scattering is larger compared with rear light scattering, is obtained. SOLUTION: The recording layer 3 of a reversible recording body is constituted of a liquid crystal compound or a recording material, containing the liquid crystal compound and pinched between two sheets of substrates 2, 4 wherein at least one of them is transparent, while the recording layer 3 can be formed so as to have a crystallizing condition that the strength of fore scattering is stronger than a rear scattering strength by cooling the recording material gradually from an isotropic phase or a liquid crystal phase. A reversible recording method forms the crystallizing condition, in which the fore scattering strength is stronger than the rear scattering strength, by gradually cooling the recording material of the reversible recording medium from an isotropic phase or a liquid crystal phase.

The liquid crystalline compd. is represented by CH2=C(R1)COO(CH2)nN(R2)-Ph-N=N-Ph-COO-PH- CH=CH2. In this formula, each of R1 and R2 is a hydrogen atom or 1-8C alkyl group, Ph is a paraphenylene group, and n is a number 1 to 20. The divinyl compd. has two vinyl groups in the molecule and has 1,000 mol.wt. or smaller, preferably 400 or smaller. The lower limit of the mol.wt. is about 250. The compd. expressed by the formula is preferably used. In the formula, A is a straight-chain molecular skeleton, and each of R3 to R8 is a hydrogen atom or substituent.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the degree of whiteness when light is scattered with a thermosensitive recording layer which can exhibit a white display state by having the thermosensitive recording layer and a light absorption layer as well as transparent layers between the thermosensitive recording layer and the light absorption layer and constituting >=1 transparent layers of transparent material having the refractive index lower than the refractive index of the thermosensitive recording layer or the other transparent layers. SOLUTION: The one or more transparent layers consisting of the transparent material are disposed between the thermosensitive recording layer and the light absorption layer and the low-refractive index layer having the low refractive index is made to exist in these transparent layers. The base of the thermosensitive recording layer may be used as the transparent layer when the transparent material is used as the base of the thermosensitive recording layers. The transparent layers are composed of the two layers, the base layer of the high refractive index and the low-refractive index layer of the low refractive index. The cholesteric liquid crystal compound expressed by formula I and/or formula II or a mixture containing the compound is used as the thermosensitive recording material. In the equation I, n=5, 6, 7, R=H and CH3 and in the formula II, n=2 to 10.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a novel polymeric substance which does not show the relaxation of an aligned structure at high temperatures and having good heat stability and quadratic nonlinear optical properties by using a maleimide/styrene copolymer comprising three types of structural units having specified structures and having a specified number-average molecular weight. SOLUTION: This copolymer comprises structural units of formulas I, II and III (wherein R is H or methyl) and has a number-average molecular weight of 10,000-200,000. This is obtained by the following reactions. A mixture of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide represented by formula I with an α-methylstyrene represented by formula II is heated to 50-100 deg.C in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator (e.g. acetyl peroxide) in a polymerization solvent (the ratio between the constituents of the mixture is in the range of 2:1 to 1:2). The obtained white solid is reacted with a red dye represented by formula IV (wherein R is H or methyl) in the presence of a condensing agent in a reaction solvent to obtain a compound comprising structural units of formulas I to III and being in the form of a reddish brown solid.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high-molecular material which undergoes controlled relaxation of an orientation structure at high temperature and has secondary nonlinear optical characteristics with good heat stability by subjecting a polymer obtained through the radical polymerization of a specified aniline derivative to diazo coupling with nitroaniline. SOLUTION: An aniline derivative of formula I (wherein R is H or methyl; and R is H, or methyl bound at a position other than the 4-position) is subjected to radical polymerization in the presence of 0.05-5.0 wt.% radical polymerization initiator at 50-100 deg.C for 10-50 hr to give a polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 42,000 to 270,000. This polymer is subjected to diazo coupling with nitroaniline to introduce at least 20 mol.%, preferably 25-95 mol.%, azo groups, thus giving a nonlinear acrylamide polymer consisting of constituent units of formula II and those of formula II, and having a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 300,000, an optimum poling temperature of 150-170 deg.C, and an initial d33 value at 80 deg.C of at least 200×10 esu.
