ABSTRACT:
An image recording and erasing method for recording images and erasing the same repeatedly by use of a reversible thermosensitive recording medium which is capable of reversibly changing the transparency and color tone thereof depending upon the temperature thereof, includes the steps (a) disposing a light-to-heat conversion sheet above the reversible thermosensitive recording medium; (b) applying a laser beam to the light-to-heat conversion sheet to heat the reversible thermosensitive recording medium by the heat generated by the light-to-heat conversion sheet upon the application of the laser beam thereto, thereby forming images on the reversible thermosensitive recording medium and/or erasing images therefrom; and (c) removing the light-to-heat conversion sheet away from the reversible thermosensitive recording medium.
