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 1):
A developing device comprising:\n a rotatable developer carrying member configured to carry liquid developer including toner and carrier liquid to develop an electrostatic latent image carried on an image bearing member, with toner at a developing position; a developer container configured to store the liquid developer; an electrode provided opposed to said developer carrying member with a predetermined gap therebetween and configured to form an electric field for moving the toner in the liquid developer supplied from said developer container into the predetermined gap, toward said developer carrying member; and an urging roller provided downstream of said electrode and the upstream of the developing position with respect to a rotational moving direction of said developer carrying member and configured to urge said developer carrying member, wherein an amount of the toner on said developer carrying member per unit area in a 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 an amount of the toner and said developer carrying member per unit area in a region interposed between said electrode and said developer carrying member.
