Abstract:
An image recording medium comprising a support permeable to a reading electromagnetic wave and a first electrode layer permeable to the reading electromagnetic wave, a reading photoconductive layer which is formed of a material containing a-Se as a major component and exhibits conductivity upon exposure to the reading electromagnetic wave, a charge accumulating portion which accumulates an electric charge of a latent image polarity generated in a recording photoconductive layer, the recording photoconductive layer which exhibits conductivity upon exposure to a recording electromagnetic wave and a second electrode layer permeable to the recording electromagnetic wave which are superposed on the support one on another in this order,wherein the reading photoconductive layer is doped over the whole or in the surface area facing the first electrode layer with an interfacial crystallization suppressing material which suppresses interfacial crystallization of a-Se, and wherein the thickness of a region doped with both the interfacial crystallization suppressing material and a material which increases traps for a charge of the polarity opposite to that at which the first electrode layer is electrified and reduces traps for the charge of the same polarity as the polarity at which the first electrode layer is electrified is 0.01 to 0.1 &mgr;m.
