Abstract An electrophotographic developing apparatus comprising: multiple carrier rollers, held in supporting means, conveying an electrophotographic sheet material to be processed and driven at a common speed by driving means; two endless belts hung at the side ends of said carrier rollers to form a loop including at least some of said carrier rollers; multiple development electrodes arranged facing to carrier rollers; and a means of supplying liquid developer onto the electrophotographic sheet which is conveyed between said carrier rollers and said development electrodes, whereby a developer pool is formed on the electrophotographic sheet, said pool being limited by the sheet as bottom plane, and the adjacent developing electrodes and the supporting means as side borders, said sheet being conveyed with its rear surface in contact with said endless belts.
An electrophotographic developing apparatus comprising: i. multiple carrier rollers, held in and between fixed side plate supporting means, conveying an electrophotographic sheet material to be processed and driven at a common speed by driving means; ii. two endless belts hung at the side ends of said carrier rollers to form a loop including at least some of said carrier rollers, said endless belts being contiguous to said fixed side plates; iii. multiple development electrodes arranged facing to carrier rollers; and iv. a means of supplying liquid developer onto the electrophotographic sheet which is conveyed between said carrier rollers and said development electrodes, whereby a developer pool is formed on the electrophotographic sheet, said pool being limited by the sheet and the endless belts as bottom plane, and the adjacent development electrodes and the fixed side plate supporting means as side borders, said sheet being conveyed with its rear surface in contact with said endless belts.
