【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、レーザー光の照射により画像が記録されるレーザー記録型感熱記録体に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
現像や定着を必要としない直接記録方式の中で、電子供与性ロイコ染料と電子受容性顕色剤を発色剤とする感熱記録紙材料は、操作性、保守性が優れていることからファクシミリやプリンターに広く利用されている。しかしながら、この方式は、サーマルヘッドや発熱ICペンを感熱記録体に直接接触させて加熱記録するために、サーマルヘッドや発熱ICペンに発色溶融物質が付着して、カス付着やスティッキング等のトラブルを起こし、記録障害や記録品質を損なうという問題点があった。特に、プロッタープリンターのように記録の流れ方向に連続して線書きする場合、カス付着のトラブルを引き起こさずに連続印字することは事実上不可能である。また、サーマルヘッドによる記録方式では、画像解像度を8本/mm以上に上げることは難しいとされている。
【0003】
そこで、カス付着、スティッキング等のトラブルを解消し、解像度をさらに向上させる方法として、光による無接触の記録方式が提案されている。特開昭54−4142号公報は、支持体上にロイコ染料を主体とする感熱発色層を塗布してなる感熱記録体において、格子欠陥を持たせた金属化合物を用いることにより、この金属化合物が可視、赤外線領域の光を吸収し、熱変換することにより感熱記録が可能であることを開示している。
【0004】
また、特開昭58−209594号公報は、0.8〜2μmの近赤外線領域に吸収波長を持つ近赤外線吸収剤と感熱発色材料とを少なくとも1組以上基板上に積層する光学的記録媒体を、特開昭58−94494号公報は、1種または2種以上の感熱発色材料と、0.7〜3μmの近赤外光に最大吸収波長を持つ1種又は2種以上の近赤外線吸収剤とを基材上に被覆した記録媒体を開示しており、これらの記録媒体への記録は、熱板および近赤外付近の波長のレーザー光によって行うことができることを開示している。
【0005】
前述の特開昭58−94494号公報および特開昭58−209594号公報は、近赤外線吸収剤を感熱発色層塗料に直接添加し、塗布乾燥して光吸収性の感熱発色層を得ることを開示している。しかし、用いられる近赤外吸収剤はいずれもかなり着色しているため地色が悪く、また、近赤外線吸収剤を感熱発色層中に含有させた場合、感熱発色材料に対し減感作用が引き起こされ、十分な発色濃を得ることができない。対策として、近赤外線吸収剤を感熱発色層とは別の層中に含有させ、積層して使用することが提案されているが、多層構成とすることは操業上不利である。
【0006】
一方、近年、新聞の製版システムでは、従来の印画紙の使用に代えて、レーザーで記録するドライフィルムの使用が普及しつつある。通常、新聞記事は、電子情報がまず印画紙(銀塩フィルム)に出力され、現像、定着される。次に、作成された印画紙をアルミ支持体上に感光液が塗布されたPS版(Pre-Sensitized plate)に重ね、印画紙側から光照射して印画紙上の情報をPS版に転写する。PS版は新聞を印刷するための版であり、オフセット印刷方式等により新聞が作成される。ここで、情報を印画紙に出力−現像−定着する工程は、現像液や定着液の温度、湿度、時間、また経時変化等の条件に影響されやすく、安定した品質の画像が得られにくい。また、暗所での作業が必要であったり、廃液や廃ガスの環境に与える悪影響など様々な問題をもっている。
【0007】
さらに、例えば地方新聞の場合は、中央の大手新聞社より送られた電子情報に基づいて印画紙を作成した後、地方独自のニュースや広告を掲載するため切り貼り作業を行い、これをスキャナーで読み取って電子情報とし、再び印画紙が作成される。校正により誤りが見付かった場合も同様に、印画紙−切り貼りによる修正−スキャナー読み取り−電子情報−印画紙と、PS版に至るまでに印画紙作成工程を繰り返さなければならない。
【0008】
そこで、問題点の多い印画紙を用いるシステムの改善が求められ、最近、レーザー記録装置であるドライプロッターからドライフィルムに情報を記録し、ドライフィルムからPS版を作成するシステムが開発されている。ドライフィルムとしては、例えば、感熱層中にレーザー光を吸収して光熱変換を行う染料と発色材料とを含有する特開2000−238436号公報記載のレーザー記録型感熱プルーフ等が利用できると考えられる。
【0009】
しかし、前述したように、従来の近赤外線吸収剤と感熱発色材料との組み合わせからなる記録体の場合、近赤外線吸収剤は着色しているものが多いこと、感熱発色材料と混合した際に減感作用がみられることから、記録画像は人間が肉眼で読むことは可能なものであっても、スキャナーなど光学的読み取りの場合には高い精度を得ることは難しく、製版システムにおける印画紙代替のドライフィルムとしては実用性に欠けるのが実状である。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記の事情から本発明は、記録感度等のレーザー記録適性および地色に優れ、かつ記録画像のスキャナー読み取り性に優れたレーザー記録型感熱記録体を提供することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、支持体上に少なくともレーザー光を吸収して熱に変換する光吸収材料と電子供与性ロイコ染料と電子受容性顕色剤とを含有する感熱記録層を設けた感熱記録体において、600nm以上の波長の光を照射したときの画像部と地色部との反射率の差が60%以上であるレーザー記録型感熱記録体とすることを見出し本発明に到達した。
【0012】
本発明においては、記録感度が高く、かつスキャナーによる記録画像の読み取り性に優れたレーザー記録型感熱記録体が得られる。この理由は明らかではないが、次のように考えられる。近赤外吸収剤を用いた従来の感熱記録体は、近赤外吸収剤自体の色に由来して地色が着色しているものが多い。そして、その記録画像は肉眼によっては十分判読可能であるものの、スキャナーによる光学的読み取りの場合は、画像部と地色部とのコントラストに劣り高い精度が得られない。これに対し本発明は、画像部と地色部とにおいてスキャナーの読み取り主波長である630nmや、さらには680nm付近の長い波長でも吸収強度の差が大きく、良好なコントラストを有するため読み取り性が向上すると考えられる。特に、画像部と地色部との吸収強度の差が70%以上であることがより好ましい。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明を具体的に説明する。本発明で用いられる光吸収材料は、記録源の光を吸収し、吸収した光を熱変換して外部にその熱を放出する物質である。そのため、記録源の光をできるだけ広範囲に吸収して熱変換でき、レーザーの発振波長領域(約760〜1100nm)に等しいか、あるいは近接している赤外線領域の波長を有する光の吸収が特に高いものが、熱変換効率および発生する熱量の点で好ましい。また、スキャナー読み取り性を考慮すると、光吸収材料の極大吸収波長、およびレーザーの読み取り主波長は可視部以外にあることから、可視光領域での光の吸収が少ない光吸収材料が好ましい。
【0014】
本発明で用いられる光吸収材料としては、近赤外線領域に主波長を有する光を吸収して熱変換する近赤外線吸収剤を使用することができる。具体的には、700〜3000nmの波長領域に吸収を持つチオールニッケル錯体化合物の少なくとも一種を用いる。チオールニッケル化合物は光の吸収能が強く、使用量が少なくても効率良く光熱変換を行うことができるため、地色を抑えつつ高いコントラストの感熱記録体が得られると考えられる。
【0015】
本発明で用いられる電子供与性ロイコ染料としては、各種公知の化合物が使用できる。これらは単独あるいは2種以上を混合することもでき、用途や要求される品質特性によって適宜選択される。具体例を示すと次のような化合物が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a laser-recording type thermal recording material on which an image is recorded by laser light irradiation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Among direct recording methods that do not require development or fixing, thermal recording paper materials that use electron-donating leuco dyes and electron-accepting developers as color formers are excellent in operability and maintainability, so Widely used in printers. However, in this method, since the thermal head and the heat generating IC pen are directly brought into contact with the heat-sensitive recording medium and recording is performed, the colored molten material adheres to the thermal head and the heat generating IC pen, thereby causing troubles such as sticking and sticking. This causes problems such as recording failures and recording quality. In particular, when the line is continuously written in the recording flow direction as in a plotter printer, it is practically impossible to perform continuous printing without causing the problem of residue adhesion. In addition, it is difficult to increase the image resolution to 8 lines / mm or more with the recording method using a thermal head.
[0003]
Therefore, a contactless recording method using light has been proposed as a method for solving troubles such as residue adhesion and sticking and further improving the resolution. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-4142 discloses that a metal compound having a lattice defect is used in a heat-sensitive recording material in which a heat-sensitive color developing layer mainly composed of a leuco dye is coated on a support. It discloses that thermal recording is possible by absorbing light in the visible and infrared regions and converting it into heat.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-209594 discloses an optical recording medium in which at least one pair of a near infrared absorber having an absorption wavelength in the near infrared region of 0.8 to 2 μm and a thermosensitive coloring material are laminated on a substrate. JP-A-58-94494 discloses one or more thermosensitive coloring materials and one or more near-infrared absorbers having a maximum absorption wavelength in the near-infrared light of 0.7 to 3 μm. And a recording medium in which a substrate is coated, and it is disclosed that recording on these recording media can be performed by a hot plate and laser light having a wavelength in the vicinity of the near infrared.
[0005]
JP-A-58-94494 and JP-A-58-209594 describe that a near-infrared absorbing agent is directly added to a heat-sensitive color-developing layer coating and dried to obtain a light-absorbing heat-sensitive color-developing layer. Disclosure. However, the near-infrared absorbers used are considerably colored so that the background color is bad, and when the near-infrared absorber is contained in the thermosensitive coloring layer, a desensitizing action is caused on the thermosensitive coloring material. As a result, sufficient color density cannot be obtained. As a countermeasure, it has been proposed that a near-infrared absorber is contained in a layer different from the heat-sensitive color developing layer and used by being laminated, but it is disadvantageous in operation to have a multilayer structure.
[0006]
On the other hand, in recent years, in the plate making system of newspapers, the use of a dry film recorded by a laser is becoming widespread in place of the use of conventional photographic paper. Usually, newspaper articles are first developed with electronic information on photographic paper (silver salt film), developed and fixed. Next, the produced photographic paper is superimposed on a PS plate (Pre-Sensitized plate) in which a photosensitive solution is coated on an aluminum support, and light is irradiated from the photographic paper side to transfer information on the photographic paper to the PS plate. The PS plate is a plate for printing a newspaper, and the newspaper is created by an offset printing method or the like. Here, the process of outputting-developing-fixing information on photographic paper is easily influenced by conditions such as the temperature, humidity, time, and change with time of the developing solution and fixing solution, and it is difficult to obtain a stable quality image. In addition, there are various problems such as work in a dark place and adverse effects of waste liquid and waste gas on the environment.
[0007]
For example, in the case of local newspapers, after creating photographic paper based on electronic information sent from a major major newspaper company, the paper is cut and pasted to post local news and advertisements, and this is read by a scanner. As a result, photographic paper is created again as electronic information. Similarly, when an error is found by proofreading, the photographic paper preparation process must be repeated until the photographic paper-correction by cutting and pasting-scanner reading-electronic information-photographic paper and the PS plate.
[0008]
Therefore, improvement of a system using photographic paper having many problems has been demanded, and recently, a system for recording information on a dry film from a dry plotter which is a laser recording apparatus and creating a PS plate from the dry film has been developed. As the dry film, for example, a laser recording type thermal proof described in JP-A No. 2000-238436 containing a dye and a color developing material that absorbs laser light and performs photothermal conversion in the thermal layer can be used. .
[0009]
However, as described above, in the case of a recording material comprising a combination of a conventional near-infrared absorber and a thermosensitive coloring material, the near-infrared absorber is often colored, and it decreases when mixed with a thermosensitive coloring material. Even though the recorded image can be read with the naked eye, it is difficult to obtain high accuracy in the case of optical reading such as a scanner. The reality is that the dry film lacks practicality.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a laser-recording type thermal recording material excellent in laser recording suitability such as recording sensitivity and ground color, and excellent in scanner readability of recorded images.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a light absorbing material that absorbs at least laser light and converts it into heat on the support, an electron-donating leuco dye, an electron-accepting developer, A heat-sensitive recording material provided with a heat-sensitive recording layer containing a laser recording-type heat-sensitive recording material having a difference in reflectance between the image area and the ground color area of 60% or more when irradiated with light having a wavelength of 600 nm or more; The present invention has been found.
[0012]
In the present invention, a laser recording type thermosensitive recording medium having high recording sensitivity and excellent readability of a recorded image by a scanner can be obtained. The reason for this is not clear, but is thought to be as follows. Many conventional heat-sensitive recording materials using a near-infrared absorber have a ground color that is derived from the color of the near-infrared absorber itself. The recorded image can be sufficiently read by the naked eye, but in the case of optical reading by a scanner, the contrast between the image portion and the ground color portion is inferior and high accuracy cannot be obtained. On the other hand, the present invention improves the readability because the difference in absorption intensity is large between the image portion and the ground color portion at 630 nm, which is the main reading wavelength of the scanner, and even at a long wavelength near 680 nm, and has a good contrast. I think that. In particular, the difference in absorption intensity between the image portion and the ground color portion is more preferably 70% or more.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be specifically described below. The light absorbing material used in the present invention is a substance that absorbs light from a recording source, converts the absorbed light into heat, and releases the heat to the outside. Therefore, the light of the recording source can be absorbed and converted into heat as widely as possible, and the absorption of light having a wavelength in the infrared region that is equal to or close to the laser oscillation wavelength region (about 760 to 1100 nm) is particularly high. Is preferable in terms of heat conversion efficiency and the amount of heat generated. In consideration of scanner readability, the light absorption material that absorbs less light in the visible light region is preferable because the maximum absorption wavelength of the light absorption material and the main reading wavelength of the laser are other than the visible region.
[0014]
As the light-absorbing material used in the present invention, a near-infrared absorbent that absorbs light having a main wavelength in the near-infrared region and converts it into heat can be used. Specifically, using at least one lifting one thiol-nickel complex compound absorbing in the wavelength region of 700~3000Nm. Thiols nickel compounds strongly absorbing ability of light, it is possible to perform also efficient photothermal conversion small amount to use heat-sensitive recording material high contrast while suppressing the background color can be obtained.
[0015]

These can be used alone or in combination of two or more, and are appropriately selected depending on the application and required quality characteristics.
