An electrophotographic photoconductor includes a photosensitive layer on a conductive base, in which 1) the photosensitive layer includes a charge-generating layer including a charge-generating material, and a charge-transport layer including a charge-transport material and a binder resin, the charge-generating layer and the charge-transport layer being stacked, in that order, on the conductive base, and the charge-transport layer having a yield strain of about 5%-25%, or 2) the photosensitive layer includes a charge-generating material, a charge-transport material, and a binder resin in the same layer and has a yield strain of about 5%-25%, corresponding to the yield strain measured using a 10 mm×30 mm rectangular, sample having a thickness of 30μm with both 10-mm sides held at an initial load of 1 N, a strain rate of 0.5 %/min, and a temperature of 30°C., in which the electrophotographic photoconductor is used as an image-bearing member. |
