METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR

摘要

To optimize the surface profile of an electrophotographic photosensitive member with the aim of improving cleaning performance, a process for producing such an electrophotographic photosensitive member is provided. In a process for producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member, which has the step of bringing the surface of an electrophotographic photosensitive member having at least a charge transport layer on a cylindrical support, and a mold having a fine unevenness surface profile into pressure contact with each other to transfer the fine unevenness surface profile to the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, the mold and the support are so temperature-controlled as to be T3 < T1 < T2 where the glass transition temperature of the charge transport layer is represented by T1 (°C), the temperature of the mold by T2 (°C), and the temperature of the support by T3 (°C).
