689955, the control electrode disclosed in this specification includes two electrode layers with an insulating layer interposed between them.
Using this one with a Kll hole, this control voltage 11m
The purpose of this system is to control the passage of charged particles using K, and to obtain an image on a recording member provided on the side opposite to the charged particle supply source. However, in this method, it is difficult to make the aperture of the control electrode parallel to the recording member or the charged particle generation i1, which tends to cause unevenness in the image.The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional example. The object of the present invention is to provide a control electrode that is strong even against mechanical forces. A control electrode is formed to face the two electrodes, and is supported by a curved surface or folded around the aperture or modulation position of the control electrode.

The insulation layer 2 must be made thinner, but it is usually 25 tones or more.
An insulating layer of about 100 tones is used, and the diameter of the aperture 4 is 40 to 400p 8 degrees, and 02 to 2 pieces per yang.
Since it is processed to a ratio of 0'#A degrees, the row of holes in the control electrode will be exactly like a vertical line, and there is a possibility that it will be cut around this hole 4 due to the action of the upper force F. . In addition, if the opening 4 is processed using a press, a drill or other laser, the opening 4
There is a protrusion t15 near the exit side of the hole shown in Figure 4.
I can do 4&. If the control electrode in such a state is configured as shown in Figure 2, a nest-like discharge will occur between the protrusion 4& and the corner wire, disturbing the image or, if toner is used, blocking the passage of the toner. Undesirable. Furthermore, if the protrusion 4a faces the recording member, discharge may occur between the recording member and the protrusion.

The control electrode explained in FIG. aI4 is laminated to the control electrode support 10, and the control electrode is formed into a curved surface having a radius R. According to this configuration, there is no need to pull both ends of the control electrode with strong force as explained in FIG. 745 above. Furthermore, when creating the control electrode shown in Figure 1, the protrusions 4a generated when creating the openings of the electrode were bent, and four openings 4 were provided in a row per 11 holes, and they were arranged in a staggered manner. There were 8 openings per 1 inch, and the diameter of each opening 4 was 150P. Arrange this control electrode IIK in Figure 5, create multiple types of supports 10, and curve the curved surface R with a radius of 20 m.
From 270- to plane, it can be deformed in stages. At that time, the distance between the slits of the support 10 is all 8
