Abstract:
1. A photosensitive unit comprising: a plurality of photosensitive members arrayed in line in a first direction; a plurality of first process members provided correspondingly to the plurality of photosensitive members, for acting on the photosensitive members; a plurality of second process members provided correspondingly to the plurality of photosensitive members separately from the first process members, for acting on the photosensitive members; a pair of side plates configured to extend along the first direction, at least one of the pair of side plates having a first outer side surface and a second outer side surface, the first outer side surface being opposed to an inner side surface of a main body in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the second outer side surface being opposed to the inner side surface in the second direction and extending in parallel with the first outer side surface; a first electrode provided on the first outer side surface, the first electrode being configured to connect to an electrode of the main body thereby feeding electric power received from the electrode of the main body to at least one of the first process members; and a second electrode provided on the second outer side surface to protrude toward the inner side surface beyond the first outer side surface in the second direction, the second electrode being configured to connect to the electrode of the main body thereby feeding electric power received from the electrode of the main body to at least one of the second process members.
