ELECTROSTATIC IMAGING MEMBER AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic latent image generating member and a method for using the same, that can generate an electrostatic latent image digitally with fewer steps and without using a raster output scanner (ROS) or charge carriers.

SOLUTION: An electrostatic imaging member 5 is used which comprises a support substrate 10 having individually addressable pixel pads arranged thereon or therein and a dielectric layer 20 disposed over the pixel pads. An electrostatic charger 40 is used to generate an electrostatic image on a surface of the dielectric layer 20 of the electrostatic imaging member 5, and a print pattern is obtained by selectively grounding the pixel pads.
