Abstract:
A development device includes a power source capable of applying a second voltage higher than a first voltage to be applied to a developer bearing member, a scattering prevention electrode that is arranged opposite the developer bearing member and to which the second voltage is applied from the power source, and a step-down circuit. The step-down circuit steps down a voltage from the power source from the second voltage to the first voltage to apply the stepped-down voltage to the developer bearing member.

Claim (Index 4):
The development device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a layer thickness regulation member configured to regulate a layer thickness of the developer borne on the developer bearing member,\n wherein voltage is applied to the layer thickness regulation member from the power source.
