An example dielectric information apparatus is provided with a plurality
of electrodes for recording information in a small area of a dielectric
substance and an earthed electrode. The electrodes are placed such that
the dielectric substance is sandwiched therebetween. The dielectric
information apparatus reads out the information recorded in the small
area of a dielectric thin film by applying alternating current signals to
the first electrodes. The polarization direction of the small area and
the direction of an applied electric field decide the dielectric constant
of the small area, and the oscillation frequency of an oscillator is
determined by a capacitance Cs corresponding to the dielectric constant.
An oscillation signal of the oscillator is demodulated at an FM
demodulator, and the information is detected from the demodulated signal
at a signal detector. When recording, record signals are applied to the
first electrodes, and the polarization direction is set to correspond to
the record signals.
