Claims15
A radiation imageable coating comprising:
- a first thermochromic layer including a bleachable antenna dye;
- and
- a second thermochromic layer including a non-bleachable antenna dye.
A radiation imageable coating comprising:
- a first thermochromic layer including a bleachable antenna dye;
- a second thermochromic layer including a bleachable antenna dye;
- a third thermochromic layer including a non-bleachable antenna dye;
- a first insulating layer disposed between said first thermochromic layer and said second thermochromic layer;
- a second insulating layer disposed between said second thermochromic layer and said third thermochromic layer;
- wherein said second thermochromic layer is disposed between said first thermochromic layer and said third thermochromic layer;
- wherein an absorbance maximum wavelength of said bleachable dye in said second thermochromic layer is different than an absorbance maximum wavelength of said bleachable dye in said first thermochromic layer;
- wherein said bleachable dye in said second thermochromic layer and said bleachable dye in said first thermochromic layer are both configured to be bleached when exposed to a single known wavelength of light;
- and
- wherein each of said first, second, and third thermochromic layers are each configured to form a different color selected from the group consisting of cyan, magenta, and yellow when exposed to thermal energy.
