Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove unnecessary toner stuck on a part where there is no image is formed and obtain a sharp toner image having no ground fogging by charging uniformly a charge holder which carries toner and making the toner equal in polarity, and producing an electric field between an electrode and the charge holder which are provided opposite each other. CONSTITUTION:The selenium photosensitive body 1 formed by vapor-depositing selenium 3 on a conductive base 2 is charged positively and then exposed to an image to form a positive electrostatic latent image. Then, a developer obtained by mixing an iron powder carrier and toner is scattered over the photosensitive body 1 and then removed with a magnet, so that negative charged toner 4 is stuck on an image part having the electrostatic image and positive charged toner 5 with the opposite polarity; 5 and uncharged toner 6 are stuck on a no-image part. Then, the photosensitive body 1 is charged uniformly and negativelyu by a corona charger 7 to obtain negatively charged toner particles 5' and 6', and an AC voltage is applied between the electrode 8 and base 2 which are arranged opposite each other, thereby removing the toner particles 5' and 6' from the no-image part.

In the magnetic brush development method, for example, a developer consisting of a mixture of an iron powder carrier and toner is made to stand up with a magnet to form a magnetic brush, and the tip of the brush is rubbed against a charge carrier to transfer toner to an electrostatic latent image.

In addition, in the jumping development method, a charge carrier carrying an electrostatic latent image and a toner carrier are opposed to each other with a gap, and after the insulating toner on the toner carrier is charged with a corona charger, the charge carrier and the toner are charged. This is a method in which an alternating electric field is applied between the carrier and the toner to be caused to fly by the electric field, and the toner is electrostatically attached to the electrostatic latent image.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the magnetic brush developing method, an electrostatic latent image is not developed because the electrostatic adhesion force of the toner is weaker than the sliding force of the developer against the charge carrier. Therefore, images with weak electrostatic adhesion of toner, such as illite and fine lines, are difficult to develop, and there is a problem in that images generally have a high gamma and poor reproduction of gradations and fine lines.

On the other hand, the jumping development method has the advantage that an image with better gradation reproducibility can be obtained than magnetic brush development because it develops with toner that is flown by an electric field. However, in this developing method, if the toner used contains toner of opposite polarity, when an alternating electric field is applied between the toner carrier and the charge carrier, the toner of opposite polarity will also fly away, causing the non-image area to There is a problem in that background fog increases in proportion to the content of toner of opposite polarity because the toner is electrostatically attached to the toner. Of course, the above problems can be solved by using an ideal toner that does not contain toner of opposite polarity at all, but normal toner (1) has a charge distribution (2) is difficult to rub against Because the polarity or the amount of charge changes due to frictional force or the like, 5 to 20 weight percent of toner of opposite polarity is normally included. Therefore, even if a single layer of toner on a toner carrier is forcibly charged with a corona charger as in the past, only the surface layer of the toner layer that is exposed to the corona shower is charged, and the toner within the layer does not contribute to charging at all. , it was not possible to eliminate the ground cover. Of course, one layer of toner applied to the toner carrier is
The above problem may be solved by layering it, but
In order to densely apply the toner in a single layer to a toner carrier having a particle size of about 10 μm, a highly accurate and complicated toner single-layering device is required, which poses the problem of increasing the cost of the developing device.

After being positively charged, image exposure is performed to form a positive electrostatic latent image. Next, a developer mixed with an iron powder carrier and the toner is sprinkled onto the photoreceptor, and then the developer is collected and removed by a magnet. Then, as shown in FIG. 1(a), negatively charged toner 4 is placed in the image area having the electrostatic image, and positively charged reverse polarity toner 5 and uncharged toner 6 are placed in the non-image area. A state of adhesion is obtained. At this time, approximately one layer of toner adheres to the non-image area. This is because the toners in a developer are not all charged to the same polarity, but instead contain 5 to 20 weight percent of opposite polarity or uncharged toner. This is because it only adheres to non-image areas as a fog and does not have the ability to electrostatically adhere to multiple layers.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, when toner is applied to a charge carrier, toner of opposite polarity adhering to a non-printing area is recharged to the normal polarity, and a toner without the charge carrier appearance is produced. It has the effect of producing an image. Furthermore, when toner is applied to the charge carrier, toner of normal polarity and toner of opposite polarity are separated by the action of the electric field created by the electrostatic latent image, and moreover, the toner of opposite polarity attached to the non-image area is approximately 1 Becomes a layered state. In this way, after the toner of opposite polarity, which causes background fogging, is made into a single layer state, it is corona charged, which has the effect of reliably recharging it to the normal polarity. Furthermore, since the present invention does not require any step of rubbing the toner image with a developer or the like, and develops the toner by electric field flight, it is possible to obtain a toner image that is excellent in reproducing gradations and fine lines corresponding to electrostatic latent images. There is. In addition, the present invention does not require the step of rubbing the toner image with a developer or the like, and can be developed without any background fog, so the color toner image composed of two or more types of toner on the charge carrier does not have any color fog. There are benefits to be gained. Furthermore, since a color toner image composed of two or more types of toner can be obtained on the same charge carrier, a color print can be obtained in one transfer process, which has the effect of shortening the access tom.
