Abstract (en)
A fixing device (5) includes a fixing member (21), an opposed member (22), a nip formation member (24), a heating member (23), and a reflector (26). The fixing member (21) is in a cylindrical form. The opposed member (22) is opposed to an outer surface of the fixing member (21). The nip formation member (24) is inside a loop of the fixing member (21) to form a nip (N) with the opposed member (22) with the fixing member (21) interposed between the opposed member (22) and the nip formation member (24). The heating member (23) is inside the loop of the fixing member (21) to heat the fixing member and the nip formation member. The reflector (26) is inside the loop of the fixing member (21) to reflect light or heat from the heating member (23). The reflector (26) has a convex surface protruding toward the heating member (23).
