<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device that suppresses an image defect including density unevenness by ensuring proper amount of developer to be discharged even with developer having high aggregation degree. <P>SOLUTION: A developer discharge regulation member 401 is provided at a developer discharge port 48a of a developer container 41. The developer discharge regulation member 401 is formed of a mesh-like net and has a plurality of apertures that divide the discharge port 48a in a direction of gravitational force. The interval of the plurality of apertures in the direction of gravitational force is regulated so that the surface level of developer in use is between an upper edge 50b and a lower edge 50a of the developer discharge port 48a even with developer having high aggregation degree. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
