More Information
Summary:The present disclosure provides a cleaning blade configured to be in contact with a cleaning target member and clean a surface of the cleaning target member. The cleaning blade has a contact surface configured to be in contact with the cleaning target member, and is formed such that (i) Young's modulus of the cleaning blade reaches a peak value at a peak position inside of the contact surface in a thickness direction of the cleaning blade, and (ii) a relationship of Ym > Yc > Yb holds, where Yc is a value of Young's modulus at the contact surface ( Z = 0), Ym is the peak value of Young's modulus at the peak position ( Z = Zm), and Yb is a value of Young's modulus at a position ( Z = Zb) separated from the contact surface more than the peak position in the thickness direction.
