Abstract
An electrostatic image-bearing dielectric member comprises a support and a dielectric layer formed on the support. The dielectric layer is formed of at least one of amorphous carbon, diamond-like carbon and diamond. The dielectric layer may contain not larger than 60 atomic percent of at least one of hydrogen and fluorine. An intermediate layer may be provided between the support and the dielectric layer in order to improve the adhesion therebetween.
Claims20
An ionographic apparatus for transfer of an image, comprising:
- an ionographic electrostatic image-bearing dielectric member for receiving an ionographic image on a surface of the dielectric member, said member comprising a support and a dielectric layer formed on the support, the dielectric layer being formed of at least one film selected from the group consisting of an amorphous carbon film, a diamond-like carbon film and a diamond film, and an intermediate layer provided between said support and said dielectric layer and made of at least one member selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, silicon nitride, silicon oxide and amorphous silicon;
- and
- an ion generator capable of forming an electrostatic image on said surface of the dielectric member.
