Abstract
A method of forming an image comprising the steps of: preparing a device in which an image holding element which can functions as one of electrodes pair and which has a surface for holding an image and an opposite electrode which is the other of the electrodes pair are immersed in a dispersion of a coloring material fine particles in which ionized coloring material fine particles are dispersed in an aqueous liquid, and applying electric current to a desired area of the image holding element and the opposite electrode through the dispersion and depositing-building-up the coloring material fine particles to the desired area electrochemically to form an image, is disclosed.
