ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An image pickup apparatus comprising a circuit for forming an electric charge image corresponding to an optical image of an object to be image-picked up in a photo-photo conversion element constructed of two transparent electrodes with at least a photoconductive layer and a photo-modulation layer being interposed therebetween, by applying a light from the object to the photoconductive layer, a circuit for reading the electric charge image corresponding to the optical image of the object as optical information, by applying a reading light to the photomodulation layer, means for erasing the electric charge image corresponding to the optical image of the object, wherein an erase operation and read operation are intermittently repeated for the electric charge image, and the reading means operating in a limited period which is substantially short compared to a period in which the forming means operate. In a similar image pickup apparatus the reading means operate only in a period in which the light incident to the photo-photo conversion element is intercepted by the optical shutter. A further apparatus comprising a circuit for transferring the electrical charge image formed in the first photo-photo conversion element to a second photo-photo conversion element during a period substantially shorter than the writing period by reading and writing the electrical charge image, optically at a time, from the first to second photo- photo conversion elements respectively, and a circuit for reading optical image information of an optical image supplied to the second photo-photo conversion element by applying a reading light to the reading light input side of the second photo-photo conversion element.
