Charging member, process cartridge, and image-forming apparatus for reducing small color lines
Abstract:
A charging member includes a support, a conductive elastic layer disposed on the support, and a surface layer disposed on the conductive elastic layer. Domains with current values of 2.5 pA or more have an average size of about 300 nm or less in a binary image created using a current value of 2.5 pA as a threshold from current measured by contacting a conical probe having a tip diameter of 20 nm with an outer surface of the surface layer and applying a voltage of 3 V between the conical probe and the support while moving the conical probe.
