Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8702451A1] Method and apparatus for ion projection electrographic imaging using a self-limiting discharge ion source (10). A pool of ions is generated by a high voltage time-varying potential (17) between two electrodes (14 and 18) separated by a solid dielectric (16); ions are extracted by means of an electrical field between one of the electrodes and a further electrode member (160). An apertured ion-modulating plate (20) is interposed between the ion source (10) and an image receptor surface (150) in order to modulate the cross-section of ion flow, thereby forming a desired electrographic image. This device enjoys the advantages of high print uniformity, simplicity of construction, and reliable, durable operation.
