Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0967528A2] A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image on a photoconductive member has a developing roller that bears a one-component developer on its surface and develops the electrostatic latent image by contacting the photoconductive member; a supply roller for supplying developer to the developing roller; and a blade that contacts the developing roller so as to regulate a layer thickness of the developer supplied by the supply roller, wherein supposing that the developer has a volume-average particle size represented by Dbk, the developer at this time being maintained on the developing roller as a layer that has been supplied by the supply roller and again formed so as to have a predetermined thickness by the blade after the developing roller, on which the developer was formed as a layer having a predetermined thickness, carried out a black-image developing process, and supposing that the volume-average particle size of the developer is Dwt, the developer at this time being maintained on the developing roller as a layer that has been supplied by the supply roller and again formed so as to have a predetermined thickness by the blade after the developing roller, on which the developer was formed as a layer having a predetermined thickness, carried out a white-image developing process, an inequality, Dwt/Dbk > 0.8, is satisfied. <IMAGE>
