Abstract

A thermal recording medium including a base layer containing a resin having a functional group which chemically bonds with a metal having a low melting point, such as Sn-Pb alloy, and a thermal recording layer made of a thin film with low resistivity of a low melting point metal formed on said base layer such that when a part of the thermal recording layer is heated, the heated part melts and perforates to record information.
