Abstract
An organic-optic recording tape of higher capacity and higher packing density of data. This tape comprises a backcoating layer, a base film coated on the backcoating layer, and a complex functional layer for writing, reading and erasing data. The complex functional layer is coated on the base film and selectively focused by laser beams of different powers outputted from a laser diode in order to write, read or erase data. This complex functional layer is made of a block polymer prepared by blending a thermoplastic elastomer and a viscoelastic transparent thermoplastic high-molecular resin or polymerizing them. Near infrared absorbing organic colorants are dispersed in the complex functional layer. The transparent thermoplastic resin has a glass transition temperature higher than that of the elastomer. The recording is effected by employing a laser beam of lower power capable of inducing thermal expansion of the elastomer and formation of a bump. The erasing is effected by employing a laser beam of higher power capable of inducing viscousness of the resin. The reading is effected by employing a laser beam of very lower power capable of causing reflectivity difference between the bump and the normal part of the complex function layer.
