ABSTRACT:
A developing apparatus comprising a developing agent conveyor for conveying a developing agent, said developing agent conveyor including a multiplicity of pairs of electrodes each composed of a first electrode and a second electrode faced to said first electrode through a charging space so that an alternating electric field is generated in said charging space by the coactions of said first and second electrodes. A developing method characterized: in that a developing agent is introduced into a developing agent cloud forming space, in which an alternating electric field is to be generated, so that said developing agent may be made to fly therein by the action of said alternating electric field thereby to form the cloud of said developing agent; and in that the cloud of said developing agent is guided to a developing region thereby to develop a latent image, and by a developing apparatus comprising: an endless developing agent conveyor adapted to move in a manner to face a moving latent image retainer; a developing agent supply mechanism for supplying a developing agent to said endless developing agent conveyor; and an alternating electric field generating mechanism for establishing an alternating electric field in that developing agent cloud forming space of said endless developing agent conveyor, which is located in a region close to said latent image retainer.
