Abstract
A heat-mode recording medium has (i) a substrate and (ii) a recording layer formed thereon which comprises an organic compound of which crystallization direction can be thermally and reversibly controlled. This heat-mode recording medium can be prepared or initialized by at least the steps of fusing the organic compound contained in the recording layer with application of heat thereto and subsequently cooling a predetermined fused portion of the recording layer in such a fashion that the crystallization direction of the organic compound in the recording layer is oriented in a predetermined direction.
