Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
A heat-sensitive recording sheet which comprises a support, a white or light-colored pigment coating layer having an oil absorption determined by JIS K5101 of 75 ml/100 g or more on the support, and a heat-sensitive color forming layer comprising an electron donor colorless dye and an electron acceptor compound on said coating layer wherein recording occurs due to a color reaction upon melting one or both of said dye and said acceptor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
A heat-sensitive recording sheet which comprises a support, a white or light-colored pigment coating layer having an oil absorption determined by JIS K5101 of 75 ml/100 g or more on the support, and a heat-sensitive color forming layer comprising an electron donor colorless dye and an electron acceptor compound on said coating layer wherein recording occurs due to a color reaction upon melting one or both of said dye and said acceptor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The heat-sensitive recording sheet according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the heat-sensitive color forming layer is about 7 μm or less.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
