Abstract: A portable camera having the photosensitive member including an electrically conductive supportive substrate, a photoconductive layer overlying the substrate, and a leaky dielectric film overlying the free surface of the photoconductive layer. This camera is also provided with an electrically biased pad for contact charging of the photosensitive member and means for development of the photosensitive member within the camera subsequent to latent-image formation. Fixation of the developed image is achieved by overcoating said image with a permanent film or coating.
