Claims9
A light transmitting particle for forming a color image comprising:
- (a) 100 parts by weight of a transparent resin binder;
- (b) 0.3 to 3 parts by weight of at least one acyl leucophenoxazine compound having a general formula [I]:
- ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent lower alkyl groups and X represents an alkyl group substituted with a halogen atom;
- and
- (c) 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of at least one coloring agent selected from the group consisting of acid dyes, basic dyes, direct dyes and pigments.
A light transmitting particle for forming a color image comprising:
- (a) a transparent bead selected from the group consisting of a glass bead, an acrylic ester resin bead, a styrene resin bead, a phenol resin bead, an epoxy resin bead and a melamine resin bead;
- (b) a colorless sublimable dye layer coated on the surface of said bead, said colorless sublimable dye layer comprising 100 parts by weight of a transparent resin binder and 0.3 to 30 parts by weight of at least one acyl leucophenoxazine compound having a general formula [I]:
- ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent lower alkyl groups and X represents an alkyl group substituted with a halogen atom.
A light transmitting particle for forming a color image comprising:
- (a) a transparent bead selected from the group consisting of a glass bead, an acrylic ester resin bead, a styrene resin bead, a phenol resin bead, an epoxy resin bead and a melamine resin bead;
- (b) a coloring agent layer coated on the surface of said bead, said layer comprising 100 parts by weight of a transparent resin binder and 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of at least one coloring agent selected from the group consisting of acid dyes, basic dyes, direct dyes and pigments;
- and
- (c) a colorless sublimable dye layer coated over said coloring agent layer, said colorless sublimable dye layer comprising 100 parts by weight of a transparent binder and 0.3 to 30 parts by weight of at least one acyl leucophenoxazine compound having a general formula [I]:
- ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent lower alkyl groups and X represents an alkyl group substituted with a halogen atom.
