Abstract

We report on a development system by toner transportation using traveling wave electric field as a new non-contact development system for high-quality images. Toner is carried in a cloud-like state at high speed, but the toner gradually adheres to the surface of a FPC (used as toner conveyer), and the FPC is charged up as a result of contact with the toner. To solve this problem, we developed a new structure in which the FPC surface is covered by a thin, high-resistivity rotating belt. With this structure, it continuously removes the adhering toner and electrostatic charge. As a result, stable toner transportation is achieved without above-mentioned problems. By using this non-contact development system, we have achieved high quality image reproduction, resolving a closely arranged dot pattern of 1 by 1 to isolated 1200 dpi dot pattern.
