<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, since the conventional developing roller is made of a single material of rubber, when a high hardness material is used, the contact area with the photosensitive drum is small and tends to vary. On the other hand, if a material with low hardness is used, problems such as seepage of plasticizer, reduction in roller wear resistance, compression set, and surface roughness occur. In addition, both types tend to cause so-called filming, in which the toner sticks to the surface, and there is a problem that they cannot withstand long-term use.

In the present invention, the elastic rubber forming the lower layer can be made to have a low hardness without containing a plasticizer, or is difficult to seep out even when a plasticizer is added, and as mentioned above, it has a high elasticity. Suitable materials having low compression set are ayu, urethane rubber, silicone rubber, natural rubber, isoprene rubber, and copolymers of ethylene, propylene, and the like. The hardness of the elastic rubber that forms this lower layer needs to be 50 degrees or less on the JISA scale considering the contact area with the photoreceptor, but if the hardness is too low, the upper layer is likely to crack, so it is preferable. Therefore, the electrical resistance of this lower layer should be set in consideration of the state of the upper layer.The electrical resistance of this lower layer is preferably 10<10 >ohm or less in view of the amount of toner charge, bias effect, etc.
