Abstract
In an image forming apparatus including a charging element, a charged element, a developing element, and a cleaning element the dimensions of those elements satisfy either or both of the following relations: EQU C+D<A<B-D EQU C<E<A+D where A denotes a longitudinal dimension of the charging element; B denotes an effective longitudinal width of a photoconductive layer coated range on the charged element; C denotes a developing width in the longitudinal direction of a developing element; D denotes a vibrating width of the charging member; and E denotes a longitudinal dimension of a cleaning element for the charged element.
