<p>A developing device includes a developer carrying member for carrying developer containing a non-magnetic toner and a magnetic carrier to a position where the developer carrying member is opposed to an image bearing member, and a developing container including a first chamber for accommodating the developer to be supplied to the developer carrying member, a second chamber provided below the first chamber, and an opening for circulating the developer between the first chamber and the second chamber. In addition, a first feeding member and a second feeding member are rotatably provided in the first chamber and the second chamber, respectively, for stirring and feeding the developer. A first magnet member of the first feeding member and a second magnet member of the second feeding member are provided so that same magnetic polarity portions are opposed to each other or so that a ratio of a range in which the same magnetic polarity portions are opposed to each other is greater than a ratio of a range in which opposite magnetic polarity portions are opposed to each other.</p> |
