FIELD: physics, image processing.
SUBSTANCE: image formation device, having an improved photosensitive body which can efficiently use the inner space of the device to form an image is disclosed. The image formation device has a photosensitive body unit which has a jacket for the photosensitive body and a photosensitive body inside the said jacket. The jacket for the photosensitive body has a first compartment for storing a developer assembled with the photosensitive body, and a second compartment for storing a developer moved from the first compartment; and a light window which enables light to fall on the photosensitive body. The said window is between the first and the second compartments for storing the developer. Channels for moving the developer are on outer sidewalls of the light window and connect the first and second compartments for storing developer.
EFFECT: possibility of reducing space occupied by inner components and provision for sufficient space for storing the developer in the photosensitive body unit owing to design of a device for storing the developer together with the photosensitive body unit.
