<p>An electro-sensitive recording member includes a substrate on which there is disposed an electrically conductive, light colored intermediate layer comprising a pigment and a binder. The color of the intermediate layer is convertible to a darker color in response to the application of an electrical current or discharge thereto. Disposed directly on the intermediate layer is a white surface layer that is no greater than approximately 10 microns thick and which is capable of being destroyed by application of an electrical current or discharge thereto to expose the intermediate layer. Electric current is selectively applied to the recording member by a stylus, and the electric current or discharge destroys the white surface layer to selectively expose the intermediate layer in accordance with an image to be recorded, the image resulting from the color contrast between the exposed and non-exposed portions of the intermediate layer.</p> |
