ELECTRIFYING METHOD, ELECTRIFYING DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE ELECTRIFYING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a stable image and to hardly cause image flowing associated with a discharge product. SOLUTION: A 2nd discharge area where discharge is really performed is set by narrowing void length G1 and G2 parts on both sides of a 1st discharge area decided by the void length of a void 3 between a surface to be electrified 2a and an electrifying surface 1a and applied voltage applied to the electrifying member 1 by a power source 4 and shown by hatching. Thus, the means value of the void length within the width of the 2nd discharge area is made smaller than that within the width of the 1st discharge area. Since a probability that charge particles produced near the member 1 by discharge collide with other gas until reaching a body 2 to be electrified is low, the produced amount of the discharge product causing the image flowing is reduced all the more.
