PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charge member capable of maintaining electrification characteristics stable over a long period of time even when only a direct current voltage is applied.SOLUTION: The charge member consists of a conductive support, a conductive elastic body layer laminated on the conductive support and a conductive resin layer laminated as the outermost layer on the conductive elastic body layer. The conductive resin layer includes a matrix material and at least one kind of particles selected from the group consisting of resin particles and inorganic particles, and the particles include a first particles. When the layer thickness of a portion formed by only the matrix material in the conductive resin layer is A [μm], the average particle size of the particles is B[μm], and a distance between the particles is Sm [μm], A is 1.0 to 7.0 μm, B/A is 5.0 to 30.0, and Sm is 50 to 400 μm. |
