Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image bearing member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed by exposure; an exposing device including a plurality of light sources and a plurality of lenses, which are provided along a longitudinal direction of the image bearing member, and configured to radiate light on the image bearing member; and a developing device arranged at a fixed distance apart from the image bearing member and configured to develop, according to application of a direct-current bias, the electrostatic latent image formed on the image bearing member into a visible image using a two-component developer, wherein the image bearing member is a photoconductive member, and light amount energy of the exposing device is equal to or larger than a half and equal to or smaller than a double of a half decay exposure amount of the photoconductive member.
