Abstract
A reversible display medium comprising substrate 1 having thereon recording layer 2 containing a side chain type high polymeric liquid crystal capable of repeatedly and reversibly switching between a transparent state and a light-scattered state by the action of heat, an electrical field or a magnetic field, wherein said side chain type high polymeric liquid crystal is a copolymer comprising at least one liquid crystal monomer unit and at least one non-liquid crystal monomer unit having a hydrogen bond-forming substituent, e.g., a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic group or a phosphoric group. The display medium is excellent in durability on repeated use, heat sensitivity, display contrast, and record preservability.
