Method and apparatus for recording image in recording medium using photoconductor with reduced dark latent image, and reading image from photoconductor with reduced dark current

摘要

In an apparatus for recording image information in an image recording medium including a photoconductor, a preliminary electric field is applied to the photoconductor before application of a recording electric field, which is applied to the photoconductor for recording the image information, and the preliminary electric field is stronger than the recording electric field. In addition, in an apparatus for reading image information carried by an electromagnetic wave by using a photoconductor, a preliminary electric field is applied to the photoconductor before application of a reading electric field, which is applied to the photoconductor for reading the image information, and the preliminary electric field is stronger than the reading electric field.
