Abstract:
A hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide material is used as the surface protecting layer for a photosensitive member of an electrophotographic apparatus. The carbon content (x) of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide material, expressed by the general formula a--Si.sub.1-x C.sub.x :H, ranges from 0.4 to 0.6, and the composition is such that the ratio of the peak TO amplitude appearing in the vicinity of 480 cm.sup.-1 to the peak TA amplitude appearing in the vicinity of 150 cm.sup.-1, both as observed by laser Raman spectroscope measurement using an excitation laser of Ar.sup.+ 488nm, is 2.0 or higher. Such material does not exhibit blurring of the image even when exposed to high humidity conditions.
Abstract:
A method for forming a dense, carrier blocking, thin protective film of a hydrogenated amorphous material containing an ingredient to reduce surface wetting on an a-Si:H photosensitive member. The method includes forming the protective film by generating a plasma of a starting gas suitable for forming the hydrogenated amorphous material within a deposition space where the photosensitive member is positioned under vapor deposition conditions. Hydrogen radicals are generated by decomposing hydrogen gas. The quantity of dangling bonds at the surface of the amorphous material film is reduced to thereby increase the density of the film by introducing a sufficient amount of the hydrogen radicals into the deposition space in the proximity of the photosensitive member to cover the surface of the amorphous material film as it forms.

Abstract:
A magnetic brush developing apparatus, comprising: a development container (102) for containing a developer; a magnet (122) stationarily located in the development container and having magnetic poles radially provided on a plurality of points; a rotational sleeve (121) arranged to cover the outer circumference of the magnet and rotatably driven to carry the developer in the development container to an image carrying body (131); and a blade (123) arranged opposite to the sleeve to restrict the amount of the developer which is carried by the sleeve. Two of the magnetic poles are a developing magnetic pole (Pd) facing opposite to the image carrying body (131) and a developer transfer magnetic pole (Pt) located between the developing magnetic pole (Pd) and the blade (123). A magnetic brush of the developer formed on the sleeve (121) by the developer carrying magnetic pole (Pt) has a magnetic flux density. A width or angle of a region where a radial component of the magnetic flux density exceeds over a half of a maximum value thereof, i.e., a half value width, is determined in such a manner that the developer is prevented from flying away from the magnetic brush.

Abstract:
A developing device has a vessel for holding a two-component developer composed of a toner component and a magnetic component. A magnetic roller is rotatably provided within the vessel to bring the developer to a developing zone for a development of an electrostatic latent image. An agitator also is provided within the vessel for agitating and circulating the developer to cause a triboelectrifiction between the toner component and the magnetic component and a uniform distribution of the toner component in the magnetic component. The agitator is arranged to present a uniform density mass of the developer to the magnetic roller for ensuring an even development of the latent image.
