Electrostatic latent image forming medium using optical shutter array and image forming apparatus having the same

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• an electrostatic latent image forming medium on a surface of which an electrostatic latent image is formed;
• a charge unit charging the surface of the electrostatic latent image forming medium with a predetermined potential;
• a toner supply unit (TSU) supplying toner to the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the electrostatic latent image forming medium to develop the electrostatic latent image into a toner image;
• and
• a transfer unit transferring the toner image to a print medium,
• wherein the electrostatic latent image forming medium includes:
• a transparent frame member;
• at least one light source disposed inside the transparent frame member;
• an optical shutter array on an outer surface of the transparent frame member and including a plurality of optical shutters that selectively transmit light emitted from the at least one light source;
• and
• a photoconductive layer on the optical shutter array, wherein an electrostatic latent image is formed on the photoconductive layer using light transmitted through the optical shutter array.
