Abstract

A developing device is detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus, which has a developer carrying member, a developer regulating member, a conductive support member, and a driving gear. A first electrode member is provided at a driving side of the developer carrying member. A developing voltage is applied to the first electrode, and which electrically communicates with the conductive support member. A second electrode member electrically communicates between the conductive support member and a nondriving side of the developer carrying member.
