<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which an increase of frictional force produced by contact of a charging device with a photoreceptor can be suppressed and wear of the photoreceptor can be diminished. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus has at least the photoreceptor and the charging device for charging a surface of the photoreceptor by bringing a charging member into contact with the surface, wherein a surface layer of the photoreceptor contains fluorine base resin particles and a contact part of the charging member brought into contact with the photoreceptor surface is fixed. In addition, the charging member is rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the photoreceptor or in reverse direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
