ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an apparatus for simultaneously charging, exposing, and developing imaging members at low voltages which comprises a semi-transparent deflected flexible imaging member, an electronic imaging source means, a light beam deflector member, a modulator means, a laser means, a sensitizing roll means, containing magnets therein, a development roll means containing magnets therein, a voltage source means for the sensitizing roll means, a voltage source means for the development roll means, a developer supply reservoir containing conductive developer particles therein comprised of insulating toner resin particles and conductive carrier particles, a sensitizing nip situated between the flexible imaging member and the sensitizing roll, a development nip situated between the imaging member and the development roller, the sensitizing roll means and development roll means moving in the same direction of movement as the semi-transparent deflected flexible imaging member, the voltage being generated by the voltage source with the sensitizing nip being of an opposite polarity of the voltage generated by the voltage source for the development roller, wherein an electric field of a predetermined polarity is established between the semi-transparent deflected flexible imaging member and the sensitizing roll means, which field exerts in the sensitizing nip an electrostatic force on the charged toner particles causing these particles to uniformly migrate toward the imaging member, subsequently subjecting the deflected flexible imaging member to the electronic image source whereby the electrostatic force exerted on the toner particles adjacent the light struck areas of the flexible imaging member are increased thereby causing toner particles to be deposited on the deflected flexible imaging member, and wherein toner particles are removed from the deflected flexible imaging member in areas not exposed to light by the development roll and developed in the areas exposed to light.
