A photosensitive recording medium has a structure wherein, on a light-transmitting base material, a photosensitive layer containing color image-forming photosensitive microcapsules having as materials encapsulated therein a colorant and a photosensitive material is formed and, on the photosensitive layer, an image-receiving layer is formed. The image-receiving layer has a function to cover up the photosensitive microcapsules in the fresh photosensitive recording method and, upon release of the encapsulated materials from the photosensitive microcapsules, a function to absorb the encapsulated material to form an image. The photosensitive recording medium enables formation of full-color images on the photosensitive recording medium itself, and can achieve a low running cost and also be used even in small-sized image-forming apparatus.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A photosensitive recording medium comprising a light-transmitting base material; a photosensitive layer superposingly formed on the light-transmitting base material, said photosensitive layer containing photosensitive microcapsules having as materials encapsulated therein a visible colorant and a photosensitive material; and a single-layer image-receiving layer having a thickness of 0.015 to 0.03 mm that covers up the photosensitive microcapsules and, upon release of the encapsulated materials from the photosensitive microcapsules, absorbs the encapsulated material to form an image, said image-receiving layer being superposingly formed on said photosensitive layer.
