By selecting appropriate low level potentials for the initial and final contact points, air breakdown is avoided. The graded potential can be provided to the roller by means of a plurality of sliding contacts and resistively interconnected electrodes arranged about the circumference of the roller extending sufficiently through the roller to provide the requisite field to the reproducing surface beneath.,下面是Lift off electrode专利的具体信息内容。
