Developing apparatus

摘要

A developing apparatus includes a developing roller confronting an image support member for generating an electrostatic latent image on its surface, an accommodating tank for accommodating developing material therein, and a supply roller disposed to confront the developing roller so as to supply the developing material accommodated within the accommodating tank onto the developing roller, and is characterized in that a developing material supply width of the supply roller is smaller than the effective developing width of the developing sleeve.
