Image forming method, recording medium, and visible image reproducing method

摘要

Provided an image forming method comprising the steps of; forming electric charges on a recording layer by charging the recording medium comprising a conductive substrate and, provided thereon a photoconductive layer and a recording layer containing a polymeric liquid crystal compound, in this order; irradiating, after the step of charging, said recording medium with a light corresponding to an image information to move electric charges to said photoconductive layer; and writing said image information by means of changing a birefringence of the recording layer caused by said movement of electric charges.
