    摘要: The present invention provides an image forming process, an image forming device, and a pattern forming process intended to obtain an image by developing a latent image which has been formed by exposing to light a photosensitive material including a photocatalytic layer which includes a photocatalyst and a hydrophobic layer applied on top of said photocatalytic layer, or a photosensitive material including a hydrophobic photosensitive layer which includes a photocatalyst and an organic compound, wherein the photocatalyst, when exposed to light, changes the angle of contact with water in the area on the surface of the photosensitive material which is exposed to light, thereby differentiating from the angle of contact with water in the area which is not exposed to light. The present invention also provides an image forming device and an image forming process which enable on-demand printing and reduce effects on health and environment, as well as a pattern forming process which is simple and reduces the effects on health and the environment.
