PURPOSE:To evenly and uniformly destaticize a photoreceptor without using a destaticizing lamp by providing the surface of the photoreceptor with a conductive destaticizing member for removing the charges remaining thereon. CONSTITUTION:This image forming device is so constituted that a photosensitive drum 1 having a semiconductive protective film 2 on a photosensitive layer 3 rotates at a uniform speed. A part of the photoreceptor 1 is in contact with the roller-shaped destaticizing device having the conductive destaticizing member and the charges remaining in the photosensitive drum 1 are moved to the conductive destaticizing member side and are thereby erased. Metals, such as aluminum, iron and copper, conductive high molecular compd., such as polyacetylene and polypyrrole, insulating resins, such as polycarbonate and polyester, of which the surfaces are laminated with conductive materials and binder resins in which conductive particles, such as carbon black, are dispersed, are used as the material of the conductive destaticizing member. A DC voltage or AC voltage or voltages superposed with both are impressed to the conductive destaticizing member in order to enhance a destaticization effect. |
