(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide an information recording medium capable of performing fixed information and variable information by different types of display recording, and to provide a different method of recording on the information recording medium. In addition, the present invention provides an information recording medium and a recording method that can be widely used for various applications. A substrate, a light absorbing layer formed on at least one side of the substrate, a thermosensitive coloring layer formed on the light absorbing layer, and a heat insulating property formed on the thermosensitive coloring layer An information recording medium for performing display recording on an information recording medium, comprising: an intermediate layer; and a reversible thermosensitive coloring layer formed on the heat-insulating intermediate layer. When performing display recording on the color-forming layer, it is performed by irradiating a laser beam from above the information recording medium, and when performing display recording, erasing, and rewriting on the reversible thermosensitive coloring layer, a thermal head contacts the information recording medium. It is characterized by the following. |
