Abstract
A printer which includes a lower cabinet, and an upper cabinet pivotally connected at its one end to the lower cabinet for selective opening or closing with respect to the lower cabinet. The lower cabinet is provided with a holder plate to place on it a photosensitive and heat-sensitive paper having a heat-sensitive layer to be sensitized by light and visualized by heat, and a set of heat fixing rollers for visualizing images by imparting heat to the photo-sensitive and heat-sensitive paper, while the upper cabinet is provided with a transparent liquid crystal display panel of a light transmitting type disposed at a position to confront the photo-sensitive and heat-sensitive paper placed on the holder plate, upon closure of the upper cabinet with respect to the lower cabinet so as to display images corresponding to input as applied by an external operation or external signal and a light source for projecting light onto the transparent liquid crystal panel from its upper portion.
