HEAT DEVELOPMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS HAVING TEXTURED SUPPORTING SURFACE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for forming a relief structure by heat developing a photosensitive element containing a partially liquefiable composition layer. SOLUTION: The photosensitive element is supported by a base member having a textured outer surface during heat development. The texture of the outer surface has a specified surface roughness and/or pattern. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
