| abstract |
There is provided a charging member comprising an electroconductive substract (2), and an elastic layer (3), an electroconductive layer (4) and a resistance layer (5) disposed in this order on the substrate. Such charging member provides good contact with a photosensitive member (7), to provide good image quality without causing an image defect such as white spot based on charging unevenness. Further, the charging member causes no leak even when the photosensitive member has a pin hole, and reduced the level of noise based on an AC voltage to be applied thereto. |
