Patent number: 9482991Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image holding body, a developing device, a transfer device, a collection device, a container, and a transport member. The image holding body includes a surface on which a latent image is formed. The developing device develops the latent image into a visual image with developer. The transfer device transfers the visual image onto a transfer medium. The collection device collects the developer remaining on the surface of the image holding body after the visual image has been transferred. The container contains new developer supplied to the developing device. The image forming apparatus has a channel that has a first sub-channel and a second sub-channel. The developer flows into the first sub-channel from one of the collection device and the container and the second sub-channel from the other of the collection device and the container.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryota Kubo, Kiyotoshi Kaneyama, Kuniaki Tanaka, Yoshinobu Kariya, Hideaki Ozawa, Yasutomo Ishii, Yuki Sekura, Tatsuya Soga, Shintaro Hattori

Patent number: 5847506Abstract: An electro-luminescent conversion light emitting device for use in an information communication field. The light emitting device includes a semi-transparent reflective film substrate. On the semi-transparent reflective film is formed a transparent conductive film. On the transparent conductive film is formed a light emitting layer of organic thin film on the transparent conductive film. On the light emitting layer is formed an electrode. The semi-transparent reflective film 2 transmits parts of the light emitted by the light emitting layer to the glass substrate and reflects parts of the light to the light emitting layer. The semi-transparent reflective film acts as a light resonator with the Ag-Mg metal electrode on back of the light emitting layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1995Date of Patent: December 8, 1998Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Nakayama, Shintaro Hattori, Yuzo Ito, Atsushi Kakuta
