PURPOSE: To produce a surface charge pattern without forming a free charge carrier by carrying out a reversible imagewise orientation to a part or the whole of permanent dipole in the recording layer with the aid of an electric field applied imagewise.
CONSTITUTION: A recording layer, which contains an organic material which solidifies in glassy form, is no photoconductive or slightly photoconductive and has permanent dipole, is formed on a support material. A surface charge pattern is produced without forming a free charge carrier by carrying out a reversible imagewise orientation to a part or the whole of permanent dipole in the recording layer with the aid of an electric field applied imagewise. The recording layer solidifies in glassy form, is no photoconductive or slightly photoconductive, and preferably contains one or several organic materials which act as nematic liquid crystal, smectic liquid crystal, chiral-smectic liquid crystal, or ferroelectricity smectic liquid crystal.
