Abstract:
An image development apparatus, including: a developer carrier that carries thereon a liquid developer being a carrier solution including dispersed toner particles each made of a coloring agent and a resin; a developer supply member that supplies the developer to the developer carrier; a developer compression member that is opposing the developer carrier, and compresses any solid content of the developer to a side of the developer carrier through application of an electric field to the developer on the developer carrier supplied by the developer supply member; a developer compression member voltage application unit that applies a voltage to the developer compression member; and a current detection unit that detects a current flowing from the developer compression member to the developer carrier.
