Image writing apparatus and record display medium
First Claim
1. An image writing apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor section which conveys a record display medium including a display layer on which an image is displayed in a non-volatile manner, the display layer sandwiched between opposed electrodes;
a contact section which electrically contacts the electrodes of the record display medium; and
a writing section which writes an image into the display layer of the record display medium, the electrodes of which are contacted by the contact section.

Abstract
The present invention provides an image writing apparatus capable of sequentially writing images into plural record display media at a high speed with high reliability in displaying the written images, and the record display media used for the image writing apparatus. Each of the record display media can be used repeatedly by rewriting. The image writing apparatus has: a conveyor section which conveys a record display medium including a display layer on which an image is displayed in a non-volatile manner, in which the display layer sandwiched between opposed electrodes; a contact section which electrically contacts the electrodes of the record display medium; and a writing section which writes an image into the display layer of the record display medium, the electrodes of which are contacted by the contact section.
