Abstract: Featured is an imaging forming apparatus that provides minute particles having a uniform diameter and being uniformly charged. The image forming apparatus includes a supplying member that supplies charged developing particles, a counter electrode disposed opposite to the supplying member and a control electrode disposed therebetween and including a plurality of passing holes serving as passages for the developing particles. While a potential for generating a predetermined potential difference is applied between the supplying member and the counter electrode, the potential being applied to the control electrode is changed in order to change an electric field existing between the supplying member and the counter electrode. This controls flying of the developing particles passing through the passing holes in a direction from the supplying member to the counter electrode, and thus the forming of the image.

Abstract: A thin film transistor where source and drain electrodes are film laminates including at least two layers. A first layer film of the laminate, which is formed to a thickness of 10 to 700 .ANG. is in ohmic contact with underlying semiconductor film.

The object can be achieved by providing a developer for electrophotography, compounded of: a toner component; and a carrier component prepared from a ferrite powder mixture in total of 100 parts, consisting of 10 to 90 parts by weight of a ferrite powder having a specific surface range of 200 to 230 cm.sup.2 /g, and 10 to 90 parts by weight of a ferrite powder having a specific surface range of more than 230 to 300 cm.sup.2 /g.

Abstract: An improved flat display apparatus such as a liquid crystal display apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is constructed so that when video signals from a VTR is reproduced to be displayed, the switching noise portion included in the video signals is changed to black level before being displayed, the section within the picture image area in which the switching noise originally appeared is masked by black level, making it possible to conceal the disorder in the picture image. In the case where television video signals are to be displayed, the picture can be enjoyed on a wide picture image area because the mask of black level is not generated.

Abstract: A noise generating device comprises a generator (1) including a shift register (1a) which performs shift operations to sequentially shift a bit in an input stage to a next higher significant stage. An exclusive-OR circuit (1b) performs exclusive-OR operations between a pair of bits from selected stages of the shift register and feeds back to the input stage of the shift register. A filter (2) receives the pseudo-random data and outputs an analog signal. The filter comprises an operational amplifier (2a). Respective outputs of the stages of the shift register are alternately applied to non-inverting and inverting inputs of the operational amplifier through respective resistors (R1, . . . ,R23).
