摘要:
A photoconductive layer (5) of a photosensitive member (1) and a charge retaining layer (6) of a charge retain medium (2) are so disposed as to face each other with a predetermined distance (d). After a power source (8) is connected, light (9) having a predetermined wavelength is irradiated to the photosensitive member (1) to form an electrostatic latent image in the charge retaining layer (6) of the charge retaining medium (2). Next, the charge retaining medium (2) is disconnected from the power source (8), toner is applied onto the charge retaining layer (6) and development and fixing are carried out. Etching is then conducted using the resulting toner image (16) as a mask to remove the portions of the charge retaining layer (6) to which the toner (16) is not deposited. In this manner a printing plate having a scanned portion formed by the toner (16) and the charge retaining layer (6) on the conductive substrate (7) can be obtained. According to this plate, the toner image is formed directly on the charge retaining layer (6) of the charge retaining medium (2). Therefore, the toner image need not be transferred and a scanned portion having high resolution can be formed.

An electrostatic information recording medium (3) in which a charge retaining layer (11) having high insulating properties is laminated on an electrode (13) is disclosed, as is an electrostatic information recording/reproducing process wherein, while the electrostatic information recording medium (3) is positioned in opposition to a photosensitive member (1) in which a photoconductive layer (2) is laminated on a transparent electrode (7), the recording medium (3) is subjected to information exposure with the application of voltage (1 7) between the electrodes (13 and 7) to accumulate electrostatic charges thereon depending upon the dosage of said information exposure, and the electrostatic information thus accumulated is reproduced by potential reading. The electrostatic information recording medium (3) has an information density as expressed in terms of a high recording capacity of the order of 8 × 10⁸ bits/cm², and makes it possible to process information in a planar state so that analog or digital information such as characters, line pictures, images, (0.1) information and sounds can be accumulated in the form of electrostatic charges. With this electrostatic information recording medium (3), it is possible to obtain information of high quality and resolving power because of the inform ation being accumulable in electrostatic charge units. Due to its high charge retainability, it is further possible to store information permanently. Still further, it is possible to make inexpensive and simple recording/reproducing systems, since information can be output by reading local potentials of electrostatic latent images at any time and any scanning density.
摘要:
A photosensitive member having an electrode on the front surface thereof and a photoconductive layer stacked on the electrode. The member faces an electrostatic data recording medium which comprises a charge-holding layer having an electrode on the back surface. The photosensitive member may be in contact with the recording medium. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, an exposure is carried out to form an electrostatic charge pattern in the electrostatic data recording medium, the electrostatic charge pattern being in correspondence with the exposure pattern. The layer structure of the photosensitive member and the photoconductive layer and the method of forming the photoconductive layer are improved, enabling the recording of electrostatic data on the electrostatic data recording medium with high sensitivity. Further, the contrast in charges of data between the exposed portion and the unexposed portion can be improved.
摘要:
There is provided a photosensitive medium (17) for recording a charge latent image, composed of a photo-conductive layer (4) having an electrode (3) and a protective layer (18) at each surface thereof. There is further provided a charge latent image recording method. A photo-conductive layer (4) and a charge holding layer (6), each having an electrode (3 and 7) at a surface thereof, are arranged to face each other through a gap. A predetermined voltage is applied across the photo-conductive layer and the charge holding layer (4 and 6) through the electrodes (3 and 7) to cause discharge thereacross. At the time, an electro-magnetic wave corresponding to the charge latent image intended to be recorded is emitted to the photo-conductive layer (4). The impedance of the photo-conductive layer (4) is thus varied to record the charge latent image on the charge, holding layer (6). In the method, the rise time constant of the voltage applied across the electrodes (3 and 7) is adjusted to that of the discharge or more, and the potential of the charge latent image is adjusted to a discharge starting voltage or less.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are described for the nondestructive readout of a latent electrostatic image formed on a sheet or layer of insulating material. A sheet or layer (419) of semiconductor material is disposed in relatively close proximity to the insulating material (413, 421). A latent electrostatic image formed on the insulating material (413) (by any known means) causes a surface depletion layer to be produced by induction at the surface of the semiconductor material (419). The location and distribution of the accumulated charges on the semiconductor material are read out as analog electrical signals corresponding to the AC surface photovoltage induced on the semiconductor material as the semiconductor material is scanned with a low intensity modulated light beam of appropriate wavelength, the magnitude of the analog signals depending on the local charge density. The analog electrical signals so obtained are then digitized, processed and stored and/or displayed.
