Abstract: An information recording medium has a recording layer which comprises a composition containing:I) at least one organic polymer selected from the group consisting of:(a) conjugated polymers whose conformations change by thermal energy, for example, polythiophene, and(b) polymers containing as a component a diene monomer and/or an aromatic-ring-containing vinyl monomer, for example, polystyrene; andII) a dye having light-absorbing ability, for example, naphthalocyanine. Despite the recording layer is of the organic type that features non-toxicity and low manufacturing cost as advantages, the recording layer makes it possible to produce a rewritable optical disc which can be recorded by a semiconductor laser (830,780 nm) employed widely.
