Abstract
A developing device includes a developer carrier, a sheet-shaped insulating seal member, and an electroconductive film. The developer carrier holds a developer with which an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier is developed. The seal member is disposed above the developer carrier and at a portion that is not in contact with the held developer. The seal member has a first end portion fixed and a second end portion in contact with the image carrier. The electroconductive underlies an undersurface of the seal member at a portion that is not in contact with the developer held by the developer carrier. The electroconductive film has a first end portion connected to the first end portion of the seal member and a second end portion not in contact with the image carrier.
