Electrophotographic photoreceptor and an image forming method employing the same

摘要

Disclosed is an electrophotographic photoreceptor which comprises a layer on a support, wherein the photoreceptor satisfies a condition represented by Formulas 1 and 2; <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>0<Pmax<2P Formula 1<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>2<=(Pmax/D)x100<=50 Formula 2<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> wherein P represents an average of the layer thickness in mum at the central portion in the width direction of image forming area of the support, Pmax represents is an average of the largest value of the layer thickness in mum without the image forming area, D represents an average of the distance in mum from the point where the largest value is formed to the edge of the layer and a image forming method and an apparatus using the same.
