A developing device includes: a multiple number of magnetic poles fixed at predetermined positions; a developer sleeve which rotatably encloses the magnetic poles; a doctor blade for regulating the thickness of the developer layer on the developer sleeve; and an agitating roller arranged adjacent to the developer sleeve and agitating and supplying the developer. In this arrangement, the magnetic poles include a development magnetic pole for developing the static latent image on the photoreceptor drum, and a developer conveyance magnetic pole positioned downstream, with resect to the rotational direction of the developer sleeve, of the development magnetic pole. A magnetic element is arranged opposing the developer sleeve outside the developer flow path where the magnetic field of the developer conveyance pole is not effective.
