ABSTRACT:
A conducting polymer thin film which comprises a conducting polymer capable of undergoing a physicochemical state change between at least two of an oxidized state, a neutral state, and a reduced state, said conducting polymer in at least one of these states retaining ionic dye molecules incorporated among the molecules thereof. The conducting polymer thin film of the present invention is reduced in power consumption, does not generate any harmful substance, and is capable of being used for continuous image formation. The process for producing the conducting polymer thin film, a method of working the conducting polymer thin film, a method of image formation with the conducting polymer thin film, and an apparatus for image formation are also disclosed.
