✦ Synopsis


Non‐destructive readout of an image using IR light on a polymer film containing a photochromic diarylethene was successively carried out. 1,2‐Bis(2‐methyl‐6‐phenyl‐1‐benzothiophen‐3‐yl)hexafluorocyclopentene was found to exhibit a remarkable IR spectral change around 1590 cm^–1^ upon photoirradiation, as demonstrated in the Figure.
