ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a thin endless filmm on which is formed a latent electrostatic image, the endless film having heat-resistant and dielectric properties, a transfer mechanism for transferring the endless film, a latent electrostatic image recording head disposed outside the endless film for recording a latent electrostatic image on the endless film, a developing unit disposed outside the endless film for developing the latent electrostatic image on the endless film by placing toner particles in close proximity to or bringing the toner particles into contact with the endless film, a back electrode and a heater disposed inside the endless film, a pressure roller opposed to the heater with respect to the endless film, and a discharge unit disposed outside the endless film for discharging the latent electrostatic image. Alternately, the endless film can be formed by depositing a thin heat-resistant dielectric layer on the surface of a thin, conductive endless film, in which case the back electrode can be omitted.
