ABSTRACT:
An image forming device includes an image-bearing unit and a unit accommodating section. The image-bearing unit includes a plurality of image forming unit each having an image bearing member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The image-bearing unit is detachably accommodated in the unit accommodating section by being inserted in a first direction. The image-bearing unit includes a first support member extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and a first receiving electrode disposed on the first support member. The first receiving electrode receives electric power to be supplied to the image forming units. The unit accommodating section includes a first supplying electrode that contacts the first receiving electrode and supplies the electric power to the first receiving electrode.
