<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for securing a degree of freedom in layout in a developing system capable of obtaining an image of high image quality which is drastically excellent in dot reproducibility as compared with a conventional developing system, and for supplying the clouded toner onto a latent image carrier by hopping, regarding an image forming apparatus, such as a copier, a facsimile or a printer. <P>SOLUTION: A toner carrier including a plurality of electrodes is constituted of a toner carrying belt which is stretched between a plurality of belt support rollers including a belt support roller located on a developing area side facing the latent image carrier, and rotationally driven. A means for applying voltage to the plurality of electrodes is configured to apply the voltage to the plurality of electrodes provided on the toner carrier through the belt support roller located on the developing area side. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
