摘要： A bias voltage-applying unit applies a bias voltage to an insulating toner that includes an electric charge, by making a contact with the insulating toner. A light irradiating unit irradiates the insulating toner with a light. An electric-charge control unit controls an electric charge amount of the insulating toner by causing an optical switch phenomenon in which an electrostatic charge amount of the insulating toner changes, by irradiating the insulating toner with the light using the light irradiating unit while applying the bias voltage to the insulating toner using the bias voltage-applying unit.

摘要： A development apparatus can uniform a toner density by controlling the phase of a toner density fluctuation, and can inhibit fluctuation of the toner density and variation of the toner charge amount. The development apparatus is configured to have a phase control mechanism, which forms a dividing point at a predetermined point (e.g., an opening section provided on a partition plate between two screws) in a flow of a developer within the development apparatus in which a toner density fluctuates spatially due to toner replenishment or toner consumption caused by development, causes the developer divided at the dividing point to pass through different paths (path 1, path 2), thereby shifts a phase of the fluctuation of the toner density within the developer, and thereafter causes thus obtained developers having shifted phases to merge with each other, to perform phase control. The developers spatially having toner density fluctuations are superimposed with shifted phases, thereby a high toner density and a low toner density are averaged so that the toner density is uniformed.
