PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device capable of suppressing reduction in image density, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A developing device 13 includes a rotatable developer carrier 13a which conveys a developer containing a toner and a carrier to a development area, a supply conveyance path 13i in which a supply conveyance member 13b1 for supplying the developer to the developer carrier is arranged, a recovery conveyance path 13j in which a recovery conveyance member 13b2 for conveying the developer recovered from the surface of the developer carrier after passing through the development area is arranged, and a partition member 13d which partitions the supply conveyance path and the recovery conveyance path and in which an end in a cross-section orthogonal to the axial direction of the developer carrier faces the surface of the developer carrier. The developing device 13 includes a separation member 13h which is provided to face the developer carrier on the downstream side from the partition member and on the upstream side from the development area and guides the developer separated from the developer carrier on the downstream side from the partition member to the supply conveyance path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
