Abstract

A reversible thermosensitive recording medium including: reversible thermosensitive recording layer; first sheet-shaped base; second sheet-shaped base; first resin layer; second resin layer; and electronic information recording module containing module substrate, and electronic information recording element and antenna circuit disposed on the substrate, wherein the recording layer is provided adjacent to the first sheet-shaped base; the first or second sheet-shaped base has concave portion in which the element is disposed in depth direction thereof; the module is provided between the first and second sheet-shaped bases, where the first resin layer is provided between the module and the sheet-shaped base having the concave portion and the second resin layer is provided between the module and the sheet-shaped base having no concave portion; and inner side surface of the concave portion is tapered surface where maximum opening diameter of the concave portion decreases from opening edge thereof towards bottom surface thereof.

Dependent claims

A reversible thermosensitive recording medium comprising:

a reversible thermosensitive recording layer;
a first sheet-shaped base;
a second sheet-shaped base;
a first resin layer;
a second resin layer;
and
an electronic information recording module containing a module substrate and an electronic information recording element and an antenna circuit which are disposed on the module substrate;
wherein the reversible thermosensitive recording layer is provided adjacent to the first sheet-shaped base;
wherein the first sheet-shaped base or the second sheet-shaped base has a concave portion in which the electronic information recording element is disposed in a depth direction of the first sheet-shaped base or the second sheet-shaped base,
wherein the electronic information recording module is provided between the first sheet-shaped base and the second sheet-shaped base, where the first resin layer is provided between the electronic information recording module and the sheet-shaped base having the concave portion and the second resin layer is provided between the electronic information recording module and the sheet-shaped base having no concave portion, and
wherein an inner side surface of the concave portion is a tapered surface where the maximum opening diameter of the concave portion decreases from an opening edge of the concave portion towards a bottom surface of the concave portion.

8 more elements

A method for producing a reversible thermosensitive recording medium comprising:

forming a reversible thermosensitive recording layer on a surface of a first sheet-shaped base;
forming a concave portion an inner side surface of which is a tapered surface on a surface of a second sheet-shaped base or on a surface of the first sheet-shaped base opposite to the surface thereof on which the reversible thermosensitive recording layer is formed;
forming a first resin layer on at least a part of the surface on which the concave portion is formed and within the concave portion;
bonding the sheet-shaped base having the concave portion to, via the first resin layer, an electronic information recording module containing a module substrate and an electronic information recording element and an antenna circuit which are disposed on the module substrate, and inserting the electronic information recording element into the concave portion so as to leave a gap in a depth direction of the concave portion thereby providing the electronic information recording module;
forming a second resin layer on the sheet-shaped base having no concave portion of the first sheet-shaped base and the second sheet-shaped base;
and
bonding the sheet-shaped base having no concave portion to, via the second resin layer, the sheet-shaped base having the concave portion and the electronic information recording module so as to bond the sheet-shaped base to each other.
