A developing apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image includes a movable developer carrying member for carrying one component developer to a developing zone in which the developer is supplied to an electrostatic latent image bearing member; a regulating member for regulating a thickness of a layer of the developer to be carried to the developing zone on the developer carrying member; wherein the developer carrying member comprises a coating layer comprising a resin material in which fine graphite particles are dispersed, wherein an inclination of a work function measurement curve of a surface of the coating layer is not less than 10 (cps/eV). <IMAGE> |
