Abstract
A conductive member for electrophotographic equipment includes an elastic layer and a surface layer formed on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic layer. Multiple convex units are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the surface layer, and a tip of the convex unit is formed of a curved surface. A height of the convex unit is 1.0 nm or more and 10 nm or less, a width of the convex unit is 1.0 nm or more and 100 nm or less, and the size of the width of the convex unit relative to an interval between the convex units is 0.5 or more and 1.5 or less.
