Patent ID: 8054533

Claim:
An image record apparatus, comprising: a light application section for applying exposure light, a wavelength range of the exposure light being outside a visible wavelength range, to a plurality of image record media; a voltage application section for applying an image write voltage to each of the plurality of image record media; and a control section for controlling the light application section and the voltage application section so that exposure light representing an image is applied to the plurality of image record media and the image write voltage is applied to the image record media on which the same visible image as the image is to be recorded, wherein the plurality of image record media, each for recording an image upon application of exposure light and application of a voltage, each includes: an image record layer on which an image is recorded upon application of exposure light, each image record media having a different image record layer; and a functional layer formed on one side of the image record layer for transmitting the exposure light and transmitting 10% or less of visible light, each of the plurality of image record media being stacked on each other for placement to record a visible image on each of the image record media; and wherein the functional layer is configured to transmit the exposure light from an incidence side of the image record layer to an opposite side at least under the condition that the exposure light is applied, and each of the functional layers shield visible light when the image recorded on the image record layer is observed.
