Abstract: A liquid-type developing device for use in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine or printer, that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on a latent image holding member using a liquid-type developer. In the liquid-type developing device, a developer carrying member supplies the liquid-type developer to the surface of the electrostatic latent image carrier at a developing region, and a removing member removes residual liquid-type developer remained on the surface of the developer carrying member after development.Before removing the residual liquid-type developer remained by the removing member, a fluid supplying member supplies a fluid on the surface of the developer carrying member so that the removing member removes said residual liquid-type developer with said fluid.

Abstract: A radiation sensitive resin composition which can be suitably used as a negative type resist having a high sensitivity, a high resolution, a high yield of residual film thickness and high thermal resistance, and which comprises (A) an alkali-soluble novolak resin, (B) a phenolic compound having a standard polystyrene-reduced weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or less such as polyvinylphenol, (C) a compound capable of cross-linking the component (A) and/or the component (B) in the presence of an acid, and (D) a radiation sensitive acid generator such as a triazine compound having a halomethyl group.
