Abstract
A decolorizing apparatus includes a translucent heater, a casing, and a controller. The translucent heater is configured to generate heat according to an applied voltage. The casing is configured to support the translucent heater. The controller is configured to apply a voltage to the translucent heater. The voltage is associated with a temperature at which a thermochromic colorant.
