In the information recording an reproducing method and apparatus according to the present invention, a piece of picture image information is recorded as an analog quantity or a digital quantity an information carrying medium in a planar manner at a high density, charge potential is read for outputting electric signals to correspond to the recorded picture image information and then the outputted signals are printed out by means of various display unit or output device, with high quality and high resolution as well as ease processing of the information. The information carrying medium provides a long period of storage of information and enables stored picture image information to be repeatedly reproduced with a picture quality according to need. Particularly, it is, according to the present invention, possible to read and output local potential of an information carrying medium with predetermined scanning density at a desired time, and so pictures of high quality may be output as a silver salt photograph is taken and reproduced by optically scanning the film. Thus, the present invention may be applied to a wide field including photographing, copying and printing.

A sensor card includes a signal card substrate in which are mounted a sensor for sensing an external physical phenonemon and for converting the sensed physical phenomenon into an electric signal. An integrated circuit processes the output of the sensor and stores the sensed value represented thereby in a memory. An output terminal outputs the sensed value stored in the memory of the integrated circuit. The sensor card can be adapted not only to store signal-processed detection values but also to have a function for subjecting these signals to computation or evaluation. The stored data can be read out to an external unit in the form of a signal through a physical contact or magnetically in contactless fashion.
