PURPOSE:To stably obtain an image having high sharpness and clarity, provided with a high picture density and a low background density over a long period by making a developer-uniformizing member from a resin reinforced with an inorganic fiber or organic fiber. CONSTITUTION:In the developing area surrounded by the image forming body 1 and the developer transporting body 2 opposed thereto, or on the upstream side in the developer transporting direction from the developer transporting body 2, the developer-uniformizing member 3 is disposed in press contact with the developer on the developer transporting body 2, and the member is composed of a resin reinforced with an inorganic fiber or organic fiber. As the material for the in organic fiber, a whisker (needle-like crystals), a policrystalline or an amorphous short fiber, a continuous fiber, or forms applied with various processing thereto can be adopted. Moreover, as the organic fiber, fibers composed of organic polymer materials of a wide range can be used. Thus, the uniformity and the density of the developer transported on the developer transporting body 2 can be stably increased over a long period. |
