A recording medium is provided. The recording medium includes: a first display component that is configured by laminating at least a first photoconductive layer, a first display layer and a light blocking layer; and a second display component that is configured by laminating at least a second photoconductive layer and a second display layer. The light blocking layer is disposed between the first photoconductive layer and the first display layer. The second display component is joined together with the first display component such that the second photoconductive layer and the first photoconductive layer are in proximity to each other, and the second display component, in response to irradiation with light for image writing from the second display layer side, displays an image represented by that light for image writing.
