PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image carrier having such high durability as to form high-quality image over a long period of time, and having a long operating life and high performances, and to provide an image forming method, an image forming apparatus and a process cartridge using the same. SOLUTION: The image carrier is obtained by sequentially disposing on a conductive support (31) a charge generating layer (35) and a charge transport layer (37) (which is also used as a surface layer) or the charge generating layer (35), a charge transport layer (37) and a surface layer (34) located on the surface of the layer 37, wherein each surface layer is a cured resin layer obtained by forming a coating film with a coating liquid containing a trifunctional or higher radical polymerizable compound having no charge transporting structure, a monofunctional or higher radical polymerizable compound having a charge transporting structure and an oxime ester compound, and irradiating the coating layer with light energy. The image forming method, the image forming apparatus and the process cartridge are configured using the image carrier. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
