Abstract

The image recording device comprises a heating unit such as a thermal head for selectively heating a latent image charge holding medium which forms electrostatic latent image in order to form electrostatic latent image on the surface of the latent image charge holding medium, an ion radiator for electrically neutralizing the surface of the latent image charge holding medium and a development unit for visualizing electrostatic latent image, with the heating unit disposed on the back side of the surface of the latent image charge holding medium on which electrostatic latent is formed, and the ion radiator disposed in non-contact to be apart by a predetermined space on the side of the latent image charge holding medium on which electrostatic latent image is formed.
