Abstract
This paper describes brief overview about two-component non-contact development method. In two-component non-contact development, AC voltage is superimposed on DC bias, so as to let only toner fly to photoconductor. Optimum design of developing condition is required for two-component non-contact development to prevent any defects such as background stain and carrier deposition. Another application of two-component non-contact development with a control electrode is introduced as one of solutions that achieves higher development efficiency by lower AC bias voltage applied. Further, two examples are introduced as the application of regulation method for thin layer formation which is essential technique of two-component non-contact development.
