ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor constituted so that the occurrence of a defective image such as a crack and a black dot, etc., easily occurring in the case of using a small-diameter cylindrical photoreceptor is prevented and the potential stability is improved, and to provide an image forming method, an image forming device and a process cartridge using the electrophotographic photoreceptor. SOLUTION: As for the electrophotographic photoreceptor provided with an intermediate layer between the cylindrical conductive supporting body having the diameter of 10 to 50 mm and a photoreceptive layer, the intermediate layer contains N type semi conductive particles and binder, and also, the intermediate layer functions as an insulating layer with Benard cell formed.
