<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce failure of a device by surely collecting liquid rings generated on the end face of a development roller 20, enhancing recycle efficiency of a fluid developer, suppressing contamination in the device and improving output images. <P>SOLUTION: A development device includes: the development roller 20 for being developed on a latent image carrier 10 carrying electrostatic latent images of the fluid developer containing solid content and a carrier liquid; and squeeze rollers 13, 13' squeezing the fluid developer developed with the latent image carrier 10. Axial lengths of the squeeze rollers 13, 13' are longer than that of the development roller 20. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
