An optical information recording medium whose recording layer includes a phthalocyanine derivative having a substituent of the following formula (I): ##STR00001## (in the formula (I), R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently represent a substituent other than a hydrogen atom).A dye compound represented by the following formula (II): ##STR00002## (in the formula (II), M represents a metal or a metal oxide each of which may have a ligand. R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 each independently represent a substituent other than a hydrogen atom, and n is an integer of from 1 to 8).
