摘要： A single pass EP color printer includes a photoreceptor web having multiple layers and including a charge transport layer and a charge generation layer. Four exposure devices (e.g. either laser-based or thin film electroluminescent edge emitting (TFEL) devices) are serially arrayed along the photoreceptor web and act to expose the photoreceptor web in accordance with cyan, magenta, yellow and black color image pixel data. A liquid toner developer module is associated with each exposure device and includes a liquid toner reservoir, a developer roll for carrying the liquid toner to a transfer point and a squeegee roll. Each developer module is fixed so as to position its developer roll at a constant prescribed distance from the photoreceptor web at the toner transfer point and to create a fluid interfacial layer between its developer roll and the photoreceptor web. In addition, each squeegee roll is maintained in constant contact with the photoreceptor web. Erasure devices and corona charging devices are positioned between the respective developer modules to enable preparation of the photoreceptor web for a subsequent exposure/development operation. A drying roll is positioned after a last developer module for fixing the imaged toner on the photoreceptor web. The exposure devices operate from either the lower side of the photoreceptor web or from the upper side; however, in the latter instance, the photoreceptor web is comprised of a transparent support and ground plane layer. Additional embodiments of the invention are disclosed which employ a dielectric powder toner and a liquid toner four pass system.

摘要： An electrophotographic method and apparatus for developing and printing color images by the electrostatic projection of dry powder color toners onto a photoconductive member. A plurality of color toner projection units are spaced from the photoconductive member and are AC and DC biased to sequentially project each of the cyan, yellow, magenta, and black color planes onto the photoconductive member. The photoconductive member is directly driven against an intermediate transfer member which sequentially receives and stores each of the color planes to thereby form a composite color image, and each color plane is transferred from the photoconductive member before the next color plane is received thereon. The composite color image is then directly transferred to the print medium, whereby the use of the intermediate transfer member eliminates the problems of counter potentials at the surface of the photoconductive member and enables dot-on-dot (DOD) formatting to be utilized for achieving the maximum resolution and print quality of the printed image.

摘要： Electronic display devices and methods are described. In one embodiment, a display device comprises a housing with a display area to display content for a user. Memory within the housing holds data that is to be rendered into user-viewable content. A loop of material is provided within the housing and is configured to display user-viewable content for the user. An exposure station is provided internally of the loop of material and is configured to expose selected portions of the loop of material so that the loop of material can receive and retain toner thereon to provide the user-viewable content from the data that is held in the memory. In another embodiment, a display device comprises a toner shuttling system within the housing that is configured to shuttle toner between different locations within the housing from which the toner can be used and reused. The shuttling system, in one implementation, takes the form of multiple toner reclamation/development stations, each of which being configured to operate to either reclaim toner or develop toner. The stations are desirably configured so that when one station operates to reclaim toner, another station operates to develop toner. In one particular implementation, the stations comprise a pair of switchably-biasable, bi-modal reclamation/development stations where, in one mode, a station develops toner and, in the other mode, the station reclaims used toner. Reclamation of toner can advantageously take place through non-invasive techniques, e.g. electrostatic techniques.

摘要： Image development and transfer apparatus for use in electrophotographic color printers and including a photoconductor, such as either a photoconductive drum or belt, which is spaced from sources of liquid color toners. An intermediate transport film is driven around a section of the photoconductor surface and between this surface and the sources of liquid color toners. Thus, the latent image developed on the surface of the photoconductor is transferred from the surface of the photoconductor to the outer surface of the intermediate transport film where the composite color image is developed. Then, this composite color image is transferred directly onto a print receiving media. Consequently, the photoconductor is not exposed to heat or carrier fluids during the image transfer and development process. This novel feature not only improves overall print quality on the printed media, but additionally extends the useful lifetime of the photoconductor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the intermediate transfer film is passed into contact with a conditioning squeegee roller of a selected material during each pass around the photoconductor in order to compress the developed image on the film and enhance the image quality thereof. Also, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the intermediate transfer film comprises a first main layer of a polyester material and a thin outer release layer of either a fluorosilicon material or a cross-linked siloxane material.
