A developer carrier includes: an opposing region that opposes a latent
image-carryable region on an image carrier, and a solid portion that is
solid at an end portion of the developer carrier in a longitudinal
direction of the developer carrier. An end of the solid portion, which is
on a side of a center of the developer carrier in the longitudinal
direction, is located closer to the center of the developer carrier than
an edge of the opposing region.
