An image apparatus is disclosed, in which ions generated by an ion generator are forcibly moved along a dust-proof member for protecting an image surface from dust to remove dust adhering to the surface of the dust-proof member. An exemplary structure of the image apparatus of the present invention is as follows. An image apparatus comprises: an image surface on which the optical image is formed; a dust-proof member having a transparent portion in a region corresponding to the image surface, the transparent portion arranged to face the image surface with a predetermined space therebetween; an ion generator provided near the dust-proof member to generate negative or positive ions; and a transport part for moving ions generated by the ion generator along the surface of the dust-proof member.
