Abstract

PURPOSE:To handle a device in the same manner as a dry developing method while using effectively merits of a liquid developing method by forming a thin film of a liquid developer in meshes of a developer carrier like a net by the action of surface tension and sticking this thin film of the liquid developer to an electrostatic latent image by the electrostatic force to develop the image. CONSTITUTION:A liquid film 3 is formed in a part of a developer carrier 1 on the outside of a liquid developer 2 by the action of surface tension according as the developer carrier 1 is moved in the direction of an arrow. The liquid film 3 in a part 9 close to an electrostatic latent image carrier 6 is attracted by the electrostatic force of the electrostatic latent image and is deformed as shown by 3' to stick a toner to the electrostatic latent image. In this case, the toner is moved in the liquid film to the electrostatic latent image part by cataphoresis to reproduce an image of high contrast. Since the liquid film 3 is drawn back by the action of surface tension when the developer carrier 1 is moved furthermore in the direction of the arrow, a dispersion medium remains hardly on an electrostatic latent image carrier 6 and it is unnecessary to remove the liquid in the following stage.

(Prior art) The liquid development method for developing electrostatic latent images is used because it can obtain clear images using fine toner particles and is easy to fix. Methods such as immersing an electrostatic latent image carrier or a liquid adhesion roller in liquid development, or bringing a liquid developer in the form of a mist or shower into contact with the electrostatic latent image carrier have been used. .

The example described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-17428 is an example of the immersion method, and its outline is shown in FIG. That is, the charge applying roller 23 applies electric charges to the developing support 22 on the rotating roller 21 . If the polarity of this charge is set to have an opposite sign to the polarity of the charge of the toner 25 in the developer, the toner 25 will be deposited uniformly on the surface of the support 22 in the solution. Since the roller 21 is rotating, the support 22 is then separated from the liquid surface and gradually moves upward with the toner 25 adsorbed on the surface and a thin layer of the dispersion medium 26 attached to it, and then the support 22 is moved toward the roller 30. It comes into contact with the photosensitive sheet 28 that adheres and comes down from above. Here, photosensitive sheet 2
The electrostatic latent image 29 at 8 draws out the toner 25 on the support 22 due to its electric charge and forms a powder image on the photosensitive sheet 28. In this case, the charge intensity of the electrostatic latent image 29 is
It is necessary that the intensity be sufficiently greater than the intensity of the charge 27 on 2. The toner 25 does not adhere to areas on the photosensitive sheet 28 where the latent image 29 is not formed. Therefore, development will be performed. The liquid developer 24 remaining on the support 22 is scraped off by a knife 31. Since the knife 31 is grounded, the support 22 loses its charge when it comes into contact with it, and is charged again by the charge imparting roller 23. Continuous development can be achieved by repeating the above process.

is supplied so that the liquid level is always constant. Now, when the ultrasonic vibrator 44 is vibrated by the ultrasonic oscillator 50, the sound energy is focused by the ultrasonic lens 46 near the synthetic resin film 47, which is substantially transparent to ultrasonic waves, and atomizes the colored liquid 43'. The number of colored liquid mist 51 generated at this time matches the frequency of the ultrasonic vibrator, and a uniform mist with a size of several μm can be obtained. The mist 51 is charged with a charge of the opposite sign to the latent image on the photosensitive paper 55 by applying a voltage from a high voltage power supply 54 directly connected to the thin screen electrode 52 and the electrode 53, and then the mist 51 is charged to the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive paper 55. It attaches electrostatically and forms a visible image.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in these systems, it is necessary to bring the liquid developer into contact with the entire surface of the electrostatic latent image carrier, so the dispersion medium may adhere to non-image areas as well. However, there was a problem in that processing of the solution after development was complicated. In other words, since the surface of the electrostatic latent image carrier is wetted with the dispersion medium at the end of the development process, it is not only necessary to remove this in a later process;
The main reason is that a liquid-tight structure is required to prevent liquid from scattering or leaking.

:, ho 1 produces a liquid film in the network. When this liquid film is brought close to an electrostatic latent image carrier, it can be developed by contacting or flying away due to the potential of the latent image. As a result, almost no dispersion medium adheres to the non-image areas, and the liquid remains e! This allows development to take advantage of the characteristics of the method.

It is driven at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1(a). The gap between the developer carrier 1 and the electrostatic latent image carrier 6 is 0.5 mm.
It is kept below.

Note that it is also effective to provide a nozzle (not shown) on the back surface of the developer carrier 1 to help suck the liquid film with a weak air flow. At this time, the toner moves through the liquid film to the electrostatic latent image area by electrophoresis, making it possible to reproduce an image with higher contrast. Furthermore, when the developer carrier 1 moves in the direction of the arrow, the liquid film 31 is pulled back by the action of surface tension, so that almost no dispersion medium remains on the electrostatic latent image carrier 6, and the liquid is removed in the subsequent process. There is no need to do so.
