Abstract

A developing device including a developing roller which has a resilient support layer and a dielectric layer provided on the support layer and developing an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoconductive drum through the roller by using a single-component developer, i.e. toner. The variation of development characteristics ascribable to the developing roller is suppressed by providing a resilient material which constitutes the support layer with a resistance value less than a predetermined value that is mostly determined by a relationship between the resistance value and the developing time. Further, a method is described for producing a developing roller for the developing device.
