A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image includes a tank for containing therein a quantity of developer, a developing sleeve driven to rotate in a predetermined direction and having an outer peripheral surface which defines a path for transporting the developer, a magnet roll disposed inside of the developing sleeve for keeping the developer attracted to the peripheral surface of the sleeve, and a pressure plate pressed against the sleeve to form a thin film of developer on the peripheral surface of the sleeve before being applied to the latent image.
