• (c) displacing means for displacing said photoelectric conversing means with respect to said scanning means and for rolling said photoelectric conversion means in a stack;
• and
• (d) control means for equalizing the levels of potential of the obverse and reverse sides of said photoelectric conversion means before being rolled by said displacing means.

An image recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprising:
