Abstract
A heating member includes a resistive heating layer disposed on an outermost layer of the heating member, where the resistive heating layer includes a conductive filler distributed in a base material and where the resistive heating layer emits heat when supplied with an electric current from an electrode, and a contacting unit which exposes the conductive filler of the resistive heating layer and contacts the electrode.
