ABSTRACT:
A liquid developing device includes an ink cartridge, a developing container connected to the ink cartridge in which ink is circulated between the developing container and the ink cartridge, a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing roller facing the photosensitive body, being rotatable to supply the ink to the electrostatic latent image, and a depositing member being installed to maintain a depositing gap between the depositing member and the developing roller and to attach the ink to the developing roller by a potential difference, wherein the developing container includes a first developing container having an outlet opened in a lengthwise direction and an inlet connected to the ink cartridge at a position lower than the outlet, and a second developing container in which ink overflowing from the first developing container via the outlet is stored and which has a drawing hole connected to the ink cartridge, and the ink supplied from the ink cartridge to the first developing container via the inlet overflows and is supplied to the depositing gap via the outlet, some of the ink is attached to the developing roller, and the remaining ink is stored in the second developing container and is drawn into the ink cartridge.
