Abstract

An image forming sheet is constituted by a sheet-shaped image forming layer for forming thereon a visible image by being applied by any one of an electric field and a magnetic field, and a pair of flexible films for supporting the image forming layer from both surface sides thereof without having an electrode, one of an electric resistance and a magnetic resistance of one flexible file is smaller than that of the other flexible film. As a result, the image formed on this image forming sheet can be confirmed without using a transparent electrode.
