In this example, a transparent support layer for holding a recording material is further provided on the transparent conductive layer. This transparent support layer 1 may be of any material as long as it has sufficient transparency for the optical signal 7, and for example, a synthetic resin film such as a polyester film or a polyvinyl fluoride film is used. The transparent conductive layer 2 also transmits the optical signal 7
Any conductor may be used as long as it has sufficient transparency. Metal thin films such as gold, palladium, and aluminum, semiconductor thin films such as indium tin oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and copper iodide, multilayer films such as titanium oxide-silver-titanium oxide, polyvinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride, and polymers. There are thin films. These can be made on the transparent support layer 1 by vapor deposition or coating. Further, the transparent support M1 and the transparent conductive layer 2 may be an integrated layer as long as transparency to the optical signal 7 can be ensured. The photoconductive insulator layer 3 may be any material that exhibits the so-called photoconductive phenomenon, in which current increases when an electric field is applied and light is applied (many materials including those used in electrophotography can be used). .As a representative example,
Examples include vapor-deposited layers of selenium or various selenium-based alloys, resin-dispersed layers such as cadmium sulfide, zinc oxide, phthalocyanine pigments, perylene pigments, and various organic photoconductors such as polyvinyl carbazole and trinitrofluorenone. It is also possible to use a so-called functionally separated type, in which the functions of carrier generation by light and carrier transport, which are often used in electrophotographic photoreceptors, are separated. For the conductive layer 4, a conductive pigment such as a resin-dispersed layer of conductive carbon, a vapor-deposited film of metal such as aluminum, etc. can be used.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, dielectric breakdown occurs in the photoconductive insulator 3, and the transferred image 8 is transferred to the image receiving paper 5 side and fixed by the heat generated at the same time.
