Abstract:
A development device includes an image carrier configured to develop an electrostatic latent image by using a developer, a development member configured to supply the developer to the image carrier, a developer supply member configured to supply the developer onto a surface of the development member, and a developer restriction member including a contact portion configured to form a developer layer on the surface of the development member while being in contact with the surface. A curvature radius R [mm] of the contact portion of the developer restriction member is 0.17 [mm] to 0.28 [mm], both inclusive, and an ASKER F hardness [°] of the developer supply member is 181.82×R+9.09≦F≦−250×R+130.
