Abstract:
A developing device includes a rotatable developer carrying member configured to carry liquid developer including toner and carrier liquid; a developer container; an electrode opposed to the developer carrying member with a predetermined gap therebetween to form an electric field; an urging roller provided downstream of the electrode and the upstream of the developing position to urge the developer carrying member; wherein an amount of the toner on the developer carrying member per unit area in a region downstream of the urging roller and upstream of and the developing position with respect to the rotational moving direction is not less than 50% of an amount of the toner and the developer carrying member per unit area in a region interposed between the electrode and the developer carrying member.

Claim (Index 4):
A developing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the gap is set such that the amount of the toner on said developer carrying member per unit area in the region downstream of said urging roller and upstream of and the developing position with respect to the rotational moving direction is not less than 50% of the amount of the toner and said developer carrying member per unit area in the region interposed between said electrode and said developer carrying member.
