Abstract
The electrostatic recording head includes an air introducing path for introducing an air, an ion exhaust path, an array of a large number of pin electrodes provided near the ion exhaust path within the air introducing path, an opposing electrode disposed opposite to the pin electrode array so that when a predetermined voltage is applied to the pin electrodes, corona discharge is caused between the pin electrodes and the opposing electrode, thereby ionizing the introduced air, and an array of control electrodes for selectively controlling flow of the ionized air through the ion exhaust path.
