Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid development apparatus which is provided with a developer-holding element for suppressing abrasion, having proper surface smoothness and not swollen by insulative liquid of a liquid developer. SOLUTION: The liquid development apparatus 4 is provided with a developer accommodating tank 401 for accommodating the liquid developer, an application member 404 for rotating and holding a predetermined quantity of the liquid developer D drawn from the developer-accommodating tank 401 on a surface, the developer-holding element 402 for applying the liquid developer D held on the surface to the electrostatic latent image on an image-holding element 1 and developing, and an intermediate applying member 405 for carrying the liquid developer D from the surface of the applying member 404 to the surface of the developer holding element 402. An elastic layer 402b is formed on a core metal 402a of the developer-holding element 402, and a coating layer 402c is provided on the surface of the elastic layer 402b.
