Abstract:
A rewritable fluorescence memory film, and a non-destructive writing/reading/erasing method using the same are provided to repeat data recording and erasing on a fluorescence memory film of polymer composite containing fluorescent material with high Stokes' shift and BTE photochromic compound. A rewritable fluorescence memory film is formed by applying coating material on a substrate, wherein the coating material contains 10 to 30wt.% composite of fluorescent material and photochromic compound and 90 to 70wt.% matrix polymer dissolved. The fluorescent material, which is excited-state intramolecular proton transfer compound, has a maximum absorption wavelength in a range of 410 to 430nm, a maximum fluorescence emission wavelength in a range of 450 to 700nm, and a difference between the maximum absorption wavelength and maximum fluorescence emission wavelength(Stokes' Shift) in a range of 20 to 290nm. The photochromic compound emits color under irradiation of ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 400nm or less.
