Abstract
A photosensitive recording medium for forming an image through reaction of a dye precursor with a developer material and method and apparatus for recording images employing such a photosensitive recording medium. The photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium comprises a base, an electrically conductive layer, a photoconductive layer being rendered electrically conductive in response to light, and microcapsules being variable in mechanical rupture strength by photopolymerization and containing a dye precursor. The image recording apparatus includes charging means for electrically charging such photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium and developer material applying means for applying a developer material to the exposed photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium. The image recording method includes the steps of electrically charging such photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium and applying a developer material to the exposed photosensitive pressure-sensitive recording medium.
