Abstract:
A developing roller which is rotatable while carrying a liquid developer containing toner and a carrier liquid and which contains an electroconductive agent, a squeeze roller provided in contact with the developing roller through at least the carrier liquid, a voltage source capable of generating a potential difference between the developing roller and a squeeze roller, a current detecting sensor for detecting a current passed between the developing roller and the squeeze roller, a controller capable of controlling the voltage source, and a display device capable of outputting information on a lifetime of the developing roller are provided, and the controller outputs the information on the lifetime from the display device on the basis of a detection result by the current detecting sensor (steps S 5  to S 8 ) when a predetermined potential difference is generated between the developing roller and the squeeze roller by the voltage source (steps S 2 , S 4 ).

Claim (Index 11):
An image forming apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein said developing roller includes the electroconductive layer on a metal roller.
