A colour laser markable laminate includes a colour laser markable layer including a leuco dye and an infrared absorbing compound, an optional adhesive layer, a polymeric support, an optional outerlayer, wherein the colour laser markable layer further includes an acid scavenger. The support, the optional adhesive layer, or the optional outer layer includes a UV absorbing compound.

The present invention relates to labels and labelstock materials, and to substances used therein, and components thereof. The present invention further relates to a method of manufacturing the labelstock and labels, uses thereof and products comprising them.

A donor substrate, a method of laser induced thermal imaging, and a method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display device are disclosed. In the method of laser induced thermal imaging, a donor substrate is provided to include a base substrate, a light to heat conversion layer, a transfer layer and a functional layer. The functional layer includes a material radiating an infrared light. The donor substrate is laminated to an acceptor substrate. A laser beam is radiated into the donor substrate, thereby forming an organic layer pattern on the acceptor substrate from the transfer layer. A position of the organic layer pattern is observed using an infrared microscope. A laser beam position is adjusted and the donor substrate is separated from the acceptor substrate.

An innovative and highly efficient light system is disclosed herein. The light system includes a housing with an inner shroud and an outer shroud, a first light source and a second light source. The inner shroud is disposed within the outer shroud, and both light sources are disposed within the inner shroud. The second light source may produce light and heat. The heat from the second light source may be absorbed by the first light source to enable the first light source to more efficiently produce light. The light system may provide light from both the first light source and the second light source simultaneously. The inner surface of the outer shroud may contain an infrared reflective coating configured to retain the heat produced from the second light source within the housing while still enabling the output of the visible light produced by the first and second light sources.

To provide a recording medium capable of improving color development retention characteristics during high-temperature and high-humidity preservation and suppressing color development of a background.

The recording medium includes a recording layer that includes a coloring compound with electron-donating properties, and a color developer with electron acceptability. The color developer includes a compound represented by the following formula (1).

##STR00001## (wherein, in the formula (1), X.sup.1 represents a divalent group that has at least one benzene ring. Y.sup.11, Y.sup.12, Y.sup.13, and Y.sup.14 independently represent a monovalent group. Z.sup.11 and Z.sup.12 independently represent a hydrogen-bonding group.)

A cartridge includes: a cartridge case; a first supply portion including a heat-sensitive medium; and a second supply portion including an adhesive medium. The heat-sensitive medium includes a base material, a plurality of heat-sensitive layers, and at least one heat-insulating layer in a stacked state. The heat-sensitive layers include: a first heat-sensitive layer for producing a first color when heated above a first temperature; and a second heat-sensitive layer for producing a second color when heated above a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The cartridge case includes: an opening for exposing the heat-sensitive medium; and a guide part positioned downstream of the opening in a conveying direction of the heat-sensitive medium for guiding the heat-sensitive medium and the adhesive medium bonded to a surface of the heat-sensitive medium opposite the base material with respect to the plurality of heat-sensitive layers.
