(i) Technical Field
The present invention relates to a cleaning member for an image forming apparatus, a charging device, a unit for an image forming apparatus, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus.
(ii) Related Art
According to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a surface of an image carrying member formed of a photoconductor or the like is charged by a charging device to form charges, and an electrostatic latent image is formed by, for example, a laser beam obtained by modulating an image signal. After that, the electrostatic latent image is developed with charged toner to form a visible toner image. The toner image is electrostatically transferred onto a member to be transferred such as a recording sheet either directly or via an intermediate transfer member and fixed onto the member to be transferred to obtain an image.
