Thermally processable imaging element comprising an electroconductive layer and a backing layer

摘要

A thermally processable imaging element comprises: (1) a support, pref. of PET; (2) on one side of (1), a thermographic or photothermographic imaging layer; (3) on the reverse side of (1), a backing layer which is an outermost layer, and which comprises a binder and a matting agent dispersed therein; and (4) on either side of (1), an electroconductive layer which is an inner layer and which has an internal resistivity of less than 5x10power-10 (1x10power-10) ohms/square. In a second embodiment, the element also comprises: (3a) an overcoat layer coated over (2). The novelty is the use together of (3) and (4).
