Liquid developing apparatus

摘要

A liquid developing apparatus for developing a latent electrostatic image by contacting a liquid developer with an electrophotographic photoreceptor bearing said latent electrostatic image on the undersurface thereof while moving the electrophotographic photoreceptor horizontally over a liquid developing bath. In the apparatus, a number of horizontally spaced developing electrodes in the form of bars having a vertical cross-section in the shape of a tetragon are disposed in the bath very near the undersurface of the photoreceptor. When the liquid developing apparatus is used, an electrophotographic image can be obtained having a high quality but being free from non-uniformity of image density, edge effect and flow of image or streaks.
