Abstract:
A developing device includes a developing roller, a conveyor roller and a developer stirring unit. The developing roller is arranged to face a photoconductive drum at a predetermined developing position. The developing roller includes a fixed first magnet and a first sleeve. The conveyor roller is arranged to face the developing roller at a predetermined facing position. The conveyor roller includes a fixed second magnet and a second sleeve. The developer stirring unit stirs the developer and supplies the developer to the conveyor roller. The first magnet includes a first magnetic pole composed of a predetermined magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole arranged downstream of and adjacent to the first magnetic pole and having the same polarity as the first magnetic pole. The developer is transferred from the developing roller to the conveyor roller after passing through a repulsive magnetic field formed by the first and second magnetic poles.
