Abstract:
An image recording apparatus comprising:a multi-hole photoreceptor of an approximate columnar shape provided with a multi-hole layer of prescribed thickness on which an electrode layer is formed only on an upper surface thereof, the multi-hole layer having a plurality of holes arranged in equal intervals, said multi-hole photo-receptor including a transparent conductive layer and a photoconductive layer that are laminated in sequential order on a transparent supporting structure;an opposite electrode arranged so as to be oppositely-positioned with respect to said multi-hole photoreceptor with an interval therebetween while a recording medium is inserted in the interval; andan exposure unit that exposes in response to an image signal from a side of said transparent supporting structure of said multi-hole photoreceptor,wherein conductive colored particles fly from at least two of said plurality of holes of said multi-hole layer to adhere to one pixel location on said recording medium sequentially, andwherein respective pixels on said recording medium are formed due to overlapping conductive colored particles adhering to said recording medium.
