An image recording medium includes a first electrode layer permeable to a
recording electromagnetic wave carrying thereon image information, and a
recording photoconductive layer which contains a-Se as a major component
and becomes conductive upon exposure to the recording electromagnetic
wave which are superposed one on another in this order with an inhibition
layer for inhibiting interfacial crystallization of the recording
photoconductive layer intervening between the first electrode layer and
the recording photoconductive layer. The inhibition layer is formed by
coating the surface of the recording photoconductive layer with organic
polymer by the use of low boiling point solvent.
