Abstract

Abstract A recording medium suitable for a laser thermal recording is characterized in that a plasma polymerized film of carbon disulfide or an organic monomer containing a metal is used as the recording medium. A method for manufacturing a laser beam-recording medium of this type is characterized by producing an electric discharge in a CS2 or an organic monomer gas while evaporating a metal such as Te so as to form a plasma polymerized film containing the evaporated metal on a predetermined substrate.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 64 words
A laser beam-recording medium comprising a substrate and a plasma polymerized film containing metal particles homogeneously distributed throughout said film formed on said substrate, said plasma polymerized film being highly cross-linked, said metal particles being selected from the group consisting of Te, Bi, Ag, and In and alloys thereof, and said metal particles being in an amount of from 10 to 90 volume %.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A recording medium as recited in claim 1 wherein said plasma polymerized film is a plasma polymerized film of carbon disulfide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A recording medium as recited in claim 1 wherein said metal is Te or is formed from a compound containing Te.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
A recording medium as recited in claim 1 wherein said plasma polymerized film is a plasma polymerized film of organic monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, acrylonitrile, hexamethyl-disiloxane and norbornadiene.
