Method for manufacturing image recording medium
A method for manufacturing an image recording medium constituted by a layer composite layered in the order of: a recording side electrode layer transparent to recording radiation; a recording photoconductive layer that shows photoconductivity when exposed to the recording radiation; a charge storage section for storing charges of a latent image polarity generated in the recording photoconductive layer; a readout photoconductive layer that shows photoconductivity when exposed to a readout electromagnetic wave; and a readout side electrode layer transparent to the readout electromagnetic wave. In the layer composite, either of the recording photoconductive layer or readout photoconductive layer consists primarily of a-Se, and the other consists primarily of sintered compacts of Bi-system compound. The photoconductive layer consisting primarily of a-Se is formed by deposition after the photoconductive layer consisting primarily of sintered compacts of Bi-system compound is formed.
