PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing apparatus capable of preventing developer from melt-sticking on a thin developer layer forming member, and also, capable of preventing the developer from scattering outside through the opening part of a developing sleeve. SOLUTION: The developing apparatus provided with the thin developer layer forming member for forming the thin developer layer on the surface of the developing sleeve, and where the developer is carried into a developing area facing an image carrier by the developing sleeve, comprises a suction means for sucking the heat of the thin developer layer forming member through the exposed part exposed outside the developing apparatus of the thin developer layer forming member, and also, for sucking the developer scattering outside the developing apparatus through the opening part of the developing sleeve.
