An apparatus for determining charge density and mobility in a liquid solution having electrically charged particles therein. The apparatus includes an electrode, and a dielectric member having a first surface situated opposite the electrode for providing a volume therebetween in which a sample of the liquid may be placed. A fixed bias voltage applied to the electrode to produce an electrical current flow through the liquid solution and the dielectric member. A device coupled to the dielectric member, measures the electrical current as a function of time to provide a measure of voltage decay across the liquid solution. The voltage decay corresponds to the charge density of the liquid solution.

Series capacitor ink sensor for monitoring liquid developer material

To create a latent electrostatic gray scale image on a charge receptor, a gray scale generator determines a charge distribution for a unit cell having at least two pixels. A charge manager then determines the amount of charge to be placed in each pixel. More specifically, the charge amount for a first ON pixel in the unit cell is assigned a relative full charge amount. The charge amount in each succeeding ON pixel is determined such as to ensure faithful reproduction of gray scale for any given ratio of pixel size to charge receptor thickness. To increase the developability in proportion to the gray scale, the charge manager manages the charge amount of succeeding ON pixels to be a smaller amount than the first ON pixel.

Apparatus and method for digital hybrid-tone gray scale reproduction

An apparatus for developing an image on an imageable surface with liquid developer including a housing having a chamber defined therein for holding liquid developer. A pump is provided for advancing liquid developer from the chamber of the housing to a development zone. An electrode member is provided having at least two segments electrically separated from each other by a insulating layer. The electrode member is positioned opposed from the imageable surface at a predefined distance forming the development zone therebetween. A power supply is provided for applying a electrical potential to the electrode member.

Dual zone development for liquid developers

A liquid developer comprised of a liquid, thermoplastic resin particles, a nonpolar liquid soluble charge director comprised of an ionic or zwitterionic quaternary ammonium block copolymer ammonium block copolymer, and wherein the number average molecular weight thereof of said charge director is from about 70,000 to about 200,000.

Liquid developer compositions with block copolymers

A method and apparatus for developing an image wherein a distance between a charge receiving surface and a conductive surface is varied. During charging of the charge receiving surface, the receptor thickness is smaller than during the development step.

Variable-thickness imaging members

An imaging member comprised of a supporting substrate, a p,n multijunction photogenerating layer comprised of from about 8 to about 100 alternating layers of components selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, hydrogenated amorphous germanium, and alloys of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and hydrogenated amorphous germanium; and a charge transporting layer.
