Abstract
By mounting a circuit device on an electrode circuit board by means of a flip-chip method, a number of circuit devices can be mounted at a small pitch and at a high mounting density with ease even if the electrode circuit board is a flexible board. The electrode circuit board is made to include a plurality of apertures for passing charged toner particles therethrough and a plurality of control electrodes associated with each of the apertures, the control electrodes being electrically connected to the circuit devices that control a drive signal applied to the control electrodes. The electrode board is utilized in an image forming apparatus.
