Abstract

A charging member includes a conductive substrate, an elastic layer disposed on the conductive substrate, and a surface layer disposed on the elastic layer. Regarding the surface of the surface layer, in the axial direction, the ratio of the mean spacing of profile irregularities Sm to the ten-point mean roughness Rz and the reduced peak height Spk respectively satisfy 15≤Sm/Rz≤35 and Spk≤5 μm.
