A second opaque (paper) or transparent (plastic) sheet is laminated to the color-producing layer. The image layer comprises photohardenable microcapsules containing a photopolymerizable or photocrosslinkable compound, a photoinitiator and a dye precursor and a developer material external to the microcapsules.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 31, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 31, 2021.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
