This invention provides a reversibly thermochromic ultraviolet ray-hardening
type ink having good color change sensitivity and excellent light resistance and
fastness, and a reversibly thermochromic laminate produced using the same. The
present invention also provides a reversibly thermochromic laminate produced by
forming a reversibly thermochromic layer on a support using the same. The ink comprises:
(1) a microencapsulated pigment comprising a reversibly thermochromic composition
comprising (A) an electron-donating compound, (B) an electron-accepting compound
and (C) a color change temperature-controlling agent which controls color reaction
generation temperature of the former two compounds; and (D) a light resistance-providing
agent represented by a specific formula, and
(2) a photo-polymerizable composition comprising an ultraviolet ray absorbent,
a reactive oligomer, a reactive monomer, and an acylphosphine oxide photo-polymerization initiator,
wherein said microencapsulated pigment is dispersed in said photo-polymerizable composition.
