A high-density information storage apparatus using electron emission and
methods of writing, reading and erasing information using the same are
provided. The high-density information storage apparatus includes a lower
electrode, a photoconductive layer and a recording medium sequentially
provided on the lower electrode, a conductive layer converting unit for
making the photoconductive layer conductive, a data write and read unit
for writing data to the recording medium or reading data from the
recording medium, a data loss preventing unit for preventing loss of data
during data write and read operations, and a power supply connected to the
lower electrode and the data write and read unit, for supplying voltage
necessary for reading and writing data.
