摘要:
A developer device applies bias voltage including an alternating-current component equal to or larger than a value corresponding to a developing electric field of 9 V/µm to a developing roller. The bias voltage is set to apply developer to a latent image on a photosensitive element to develop the image in an image forming mode. The bias voltage is set so that a difference between an area central potential and a surface potential of the photosensitive element is shifted to a direction attracting the normally charged developer to a developer carrier, in relation to a difference between an area central potential and a surface potential of the image carrier in the latent image section in the image forming mode, and a supply amount of the developer to the photosensitive element is smaller than that in the latent image section in the image forming mode.

An arrangement which makes good development possible, in a developing device (14) of a contact development type using non-magnetic monocomponent toner and using a developing roller (25), by keeping low the driving torque produced by the developing roller (25). To achieve this the coefficient of surface dynamic friction µ of the developing roller 25 against the surface of a photosensitive drum 11 is arranged to satisfy the relationship 0.2 ≦ µ ≦ 2.5. Also, the apparent density (AD) of toner to be used satisfies the relationship 0.25 (g/cc) ≦ AD ≦ 0.55 (g/cc). As a result, there are portions on which no toner adheres at both ends of the developing roller (25). Even when the portions are brought into contact with the photosensitive drum 11, friction in the contact portion is not too large, and driving torque produced by the developing roller (25) may be low. Further, a toner thin layer formed on the developing roller (25) reaches uniformity, whereby good development is achieved.

摘要:
In a developing apparatus (8) for developing an electrostatic-latent image by applying a charged developer to the electrostatic-latent image formed on a surface of an image carrier (2), a housing (30) which stores the developer has a developing roller (32) for feeding the developer therefrom to a developing position. A developer supply roller (34) for supplying a triboelectrically charged developer is in rolling contact with the developer roller (32). The developer supply roller (34) has a conductive material, and is rotated while electrostatically holding a developer so as to charge it by friction.

摘要:
A developing roller has a core bar (12), an electrically conductive layer (14) formed on the circumferential surface of the core bar (12), and a covering layer (16) formed on the circumferential surface of the conductive layer (14). The covering layer (16) includes a reaction product produced by subjecting a reaction mixture containing a polyol, an isocyanate compound and a both-terminal reactive silicone oil to a reaction condition for them, and has a dynamic friction coefficient against paper of 0.9 or more and less than 1.2.
