<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device, a process cartridge and an image forming apparatus capable of suppressing toner contamination on a surface of a developer carrying body. <P>SOLUTION: The developing device includes a developer housing unit housing a developer comprising a toner and a carrier, and a developer carrying body 51 carrying the developer on the surface thereof that turns and moves, the developer being in the developer housing unit; and the developing device conveys the developer to a developing region facing a latent image carrying body of an image forming apparatus by the movement of the surface of the developer carrying body, and transfers the toner in the developer to a latent image on the latent image carrying body in the developing region so as to develop the latent image. The surface roughness of the developer carrying body is approximately equal to the surface roughness of the carrier. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
