1. An image readout method comprising the steps of:

  • scanning a solid state detector comprising;

    a first conductive layer;

    at least one photoconductive layer; and

    a second electrode layer having stripe electrodes formed by a plurality of linear electrodes, stacked in the order listed, which records image data as an electrostatic latent image when irradiated with recording light bearing the image data, and generates electric current corresponding to the electrostatic latent image when scanned with readout light, with the readout light;

    detecting the electric current output from the linear electrodes by the scanning; and

    obtaining an image signal by sampling the detected electric current at a predetermined sampling rate;

    wherein a pixel density of an image formed by the image signal, in the longitudinal direction of the linear electrodes, is changed by changing the scanning speed of the readout light and/or the sampling rate.
