Abstract:
A drive roller is rotated and a high voltage periodically alternating between plus and minus based on the potential of a conductive portion of the drive roller 2 is applied by a high voltage power source 4 to an electric charger, so that the surface of the drive roller 2 is charged plus and minus alternately. Since the drive roller 2 is charged, a sleeve 1 is absorbed to and held by the drive roller 2 so as to be rotated and fed together with the drive roller. Moreover, the sleeve 1 is separated from the drive roller 2 by a separator so as to obtain a sag. When the drive roller rotates further, the sleeve 1 is again absorbed to and held by the drive roller 2 charged periodically plus and minus, so as to be rotated together with the drive roller. Thus, the present invention eliminates scratches which may be caused by friction on a developing roller or on a photosensitive body surface and also eliminates contamination with oil.

The insulating coating includes an insulating film formed by applying and baking a polyester imide resin insulating coating material, and the insulating film has a relative permittivity of less than 3.5 both in a dried state and in a moisture-absorbed state. The insulating film is formed by applying and baking a polyester imide resin insulating coating material including an imide dicarboxylic acid and an alcohol component, the imide dicarboxylic acid being obtained by synthesizing a diamine component including aromatic diamine having not less than three aromatic rings and an acid component including aromatic tricarboxylic acid anhydride.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a transfer unit, an applying unit, a detector, an acquisition unit, and an adjusting unit. The image carrier carries a toner image obtained by developing an electrostatic latent image using toner. The transfer unit transfers the toner image from the image carrier to a recording medium. The applying unit applies a voltage to the transfer unit. The detector detects a current being made to flow in the transfer unit. The acquisition unit acquires the image density of the toner image to be transferred in the transfer unit. The adjusting unit adjusts a voltage to be applied to the applying unit on the basis of a change in the relationship between the current detected by the detector and the image density acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract:
A liquid electrophotographic developing apparatus capable of preventing image drift and reducing the load in the squeezing process. A developing roller faces a photoreceptor belt with a predetermined spacing to supply a liquid developer to the photoreceptor belt while rotating at a peripheral velocity in the opposite direction to that of the photoreceptor belt in a developing region thereon. A peripheral velocity ratio of the peripheral velocity to a moving velocity of the photoreceptor belt is determined so as to maximize a solid component ratio of a developed toner layer on the photoreceptor belt.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a particle conveying body made up of a light-transmitting conductive layer, an insulative'screen provided on the conductive layer and formed with a number of pores, and a screen electrode formed on the screen. Photoconductive, colored particles are charged to negative polarity and then caused to fill the pores by an electric field. When the particles in the pores are exposed via the conductive layer, electron-hole pairs are generated in the particles. An electric field of as high as 104 V/cm or above is formed between the conductive layer and the screen electrode and separates the electrons and holes. The electrons leak to the conductive layer and cause the particles to be charged to positive polarity. An electric field formed between a facing electrode positioned behind a recording medium and the conductive layer causes the particles to fly toward and deposit on the medium.

An image recording apparatus with a photosensitive unit 100A which is rotatably structured, having a transparent conductive layer 2, a photoconductive layer 3, and a porous insulating screen 4 with an electrode layer 5 on its top surface which are sequentially stacked on a transparent substrate. An electric field is applied between the transparent conductive layer 2 and the electrode layer 5. Therefore, when a light is irradiated to the photoconductive layer 3 via the transparent layer 2, a photoconductive phenomenon takes place. The electrode layer 5 has a potential so that the conductive particles returns to an electrode member 11. The electrode member 11 for holding conductive color particles on its surface is opposite to the photosensitive unit 100A with a gap between. The conductive particles filled between the porous insulating screen 4 are transferred to a record medium.
