Title:
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/070142
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus (10), a seal member (436) is a non-conductive and flexible member supported by a developing device (43). The seal member (436) is formed in the longitudinal direction (D1) of an image carrier (41) in the developing device (43) so as to protrude from the edge (43b) which faces the image carrier (41). The seal member (436) fills a part of a gap between the developing device (43) and an outer peripheral surface of the image carrier (41). An electrode film (437) is attached to a surface of the seal member (436). The electrode film (437) is a conductive film. A potential detection unit (642) detects the potential of the electrode film (437). An electrification control unit (8b) controls electrification voltage according to a result of comparison of the potential detected by the potential detection unit (642) with that of a preset reference potential.
