Abstract
To provide a process for recording an image using a photoelectrodeposition method having high general-purpose properties that require no restriction on the selection of a material used as a substrate, a process for recording an image having (A) arranging a substrate comprising a support a conductive film and a photosemiconductor thin film laminated in this order, in such a manner that at least the photosemiconductor thin film comes in contact with an electrodeposition solution (B) applying an electric current or a voltage to the conductive film and simultaneously irradiating the substrate with light from the side of the photosemiconductor thin film through the electrodeposition solution and (C) generating a photoelectromotive force on a light irradiated part, so as to form an electrodeposition film on the light irradiated part. The process for recording an image further comprises, if desired, (D) transferring the electrodeposition film onto an image retaining substrate such as ordinary paper.
