Simulation of Noncontact Development in Electrophotography with Non-magnetic One-component Toner

Abstract

Computer program for obtaining time dependent positions of toner particles for any DC and/or AC bias as well as photoreceptor surface potential has been worked out with the use of a subroutine program (Fig.9) for calculating time dependent field strength including the contribution of the charge of toner particles. Typical simulation results are shown in Fig.12 and Fig.13 - 14 showing good agreement with the experimental results. Parameters for the simulation and experiment are shown in the figures.
