ABSTRACT:
A conducting polymer film comprising a substrate comprising a semiconductor having thereon a conducting polymer film capable of being doped with or undoped of an ionic dye molecule. In the image forming process of the present invention, the conducting polymer film is irradiated with light to generate electromotive force so that the conducting polymer film is doped with or undoped of an ionic dye molecule according to the electromotive force to form an image pattern thereon. The ionic dye molecule forming the image pattern is electrochemically released, and then transferred to a recording medium such as paper. The image forming process provides images of good quality at a relatively high printing speed. The image forming process is energy-saving and takes a low running cost. An marking process and marking apparatus using the above image forming process are also disclosed.
