Abstract

An optical recording medium having a substrate, and a recording layer provided on the substrate and containing: (a) a formazan metal chelate including a formazan compound and a metal component, (b) a squarylium metal chelate including a squarylium compound and a metal component; and (c) at least one additional dye selected from phthalocyanine compounds and pentamethine cyanine compounds. Alternatively, the recording layer contains (a) a first formazan metal chelate including a first formazan compound and a first metal component and having the maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 500 to 650 nm, (b) a squarylium metal chelate including a squarylium compound and a metal component; and (c) a second formazan metal chelate including a second formazan compound and a second metal component and having the maximum absorption wavelength different from that of the first formazan metal chelate and in the range of 650 to 750 nm.
