<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a development apparatus wherein sticking to a developer carrier like a developing roller of an excessively charged developer can be suppressed by prompting renewal of a developer carried on the developer carrier and an electrostatic latent image can be developed satisfactorily, and to provide an image forming apparatus capable of forming images of high quality by having this development apparatus mounted thereon. <P>SOLUTION: A development apparatus 300 for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor 100 using the developer includes a developing roller 301, a charging member 306, a charge removing member 307, a developing bias application device B1, a charging bias application device B2, a supply bias application device B3, and a bias control part CT. In order to promote renewal of the developer (toner t) on the developing roller 301, the control part CT controls at least one of an AC developing bias voltage V1 from the application device B1, an AC charging bias voltage V2 from the application device B2, and an AC supply bias voltage V3 from the application device B3 in accordance with a factor influencing renewability of the developer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
