  We investigate the electronic states in the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase of
electron-doped cuprates by using numerically exact diagonalization technique
for a t-t'-t''-J model. When AF correlation develops with decreasing
temperature, a gaplike behavior emerges in the optical conductivity.
Simultaneously, the coherent motion of carriers due to the same sublattice
hoppings is enhanced. We propose that the phase is characterized as an AF state
with small Fermi surface around the momentum k=(\pi,0) and (0,\pi). This is a
remarkable contrast to the behavior of hole-doped cuprates.
