PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device constituted so that a high-quality image can be obtained and speediness and low power consumption can be made compatible at an image forming time without making the device large-sized. SOLUTION: The prescribed quantity of grains 1 is housed in a grain tank 2. Then, the grains 1 are made to circulate in a fixed direction by sending air from a ventilation fan and wind patterns are formed at the surface of the grains 1. Since the periodic arrangement of the grains having very small intervals are formed at a grain layer by the wind patterns, the grains 1 positioned at the peak part of the arrangement become easy to fly. Besides, a latent image is formed on a photoreceptor belt 11 by emitting a laser light beam from a latent image writing device 13. Then, the grains 1 positioned at the peak part of the grain layer are made to fly and attached to the latent image by forming a developing electric field between the belt 11 and the tank 2. |
