Recording medium and recording apparatus wherein voltage is applied only

Abstract

A recording medium is formed by laminating a first transparent electrode, a photoconductive layer member, a recording member and a second transparent electrode in order. The recording medium has voltage supply members, having a conductive material, being provided to peripheral portions of the electrodes, equalizing electric potentials of the peripheral portions respectively when a specific voltage is applied across the electrodes, to make currents flow from the peripheral portions to respective portions of the electrodes, thus a potential difference between the electrodes, thus a potential difference between the electrodes being constant. There is also a recording medium having first and second transparent electrodes, a photoconductive layer member and a recording member. This recording medium has such voltage supply members as above, a first lamination member having a first transparent substrate on which the first transparent electrode and the photoconductive layer member laminated in order, a second lamination member having a second transparent substrate on which the second transparent electrode and the recording member laminated in order, and coupling embers for unifying the lamination members together with a gap of specific width in such a manner that the photoconductive layer member and recording member face each other.
