An image recording medium includes a support and a first electrode layer, a reading
photoconductive layer which exhibits conductivity upon exposure to a reading electromagnetic
wave, a charge accumulating portion which accumulates an electric charge of a latent
image polarity generated in a recording photoconductive layer, the recording photoconductive
layer which exhibits conductivity upon exposure to a recording electromagnetic
wave and a second electrode layer which are superposed on the support one on another
in this order. At least one of the recording photoconductive layer and the reading
photoconductive layer is formed of a material containing a-Se as a major component
and doped with a material for suppressing bulk crystallization of a-Se.
