Electrostatic imaging apparatus

摘要

A planar image detector records image information as an electrostatic latent image and generates electric currents in accordance with the latent image when the image detector is scanned with a reading electromagnetic wave. A pre-exposure light source section (60) irradiates an electromagnetic wave to an entire area of the image detector (10) before the recording of the latent image. A reading exposure light source section (20) located between the image detector (10) and the pre-exposure light source section (60) produces the reading electromagnetic wave and scans the image detector with the reading electromagnetic wave. Current detector (30) detects the currents flowing out of the image detector (10) in accordance with the latent image when the image detector (10) is scanned with the reading electromagnetic wave. All of the elements described above are accommodated within a single same case housing (2).
