Abstract
Abstract A recording material is disclosed, which comprises a support having thereon a recording layer containing an at least one electron-donating colorless dye and at least one electron-accepting compound, wherein said electron-donating colorless dye is a copolymer of at least one polymerizable colorless dye monomer and at least one comonomer. The recording material has improved color forming property, shelf life, and stability of colored images.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A recording material comprising a support having thereon a recording layer comprising an at least one electron-donating colorless dye and at least one electron-accepting compound, wherein said electron-donating colorless dye is a copolymer of at least one polymerizable colorless dye monomer and at least one comonomer, wherein said polymerizable colorless dye monomer contains at least one addition polymerizable group, and wherein said addition polymerizable group is selected from an acrylic ester group, a methacrylic ester group, an allyl group, or a vinyl group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A recording material comprising a support having thereon a recording layer comprising an at least one electron-donating colorless dye and at least one electron-accepting compound, wherein said electron-donating colorless dye is a copolymer of at least one polymerizable colorless dye monomer and at least one comonomer, wherein said polymerizable colorless dye monomer contains at least one addition polymerizable group, and wherein said addition polymerizable group is selected from an acrylic ester group, a methacrylic ester group, an allyl group, or a vinyl group.
