METHOD FOR PRODUCING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor having high sensitivity and excellent in potential stability and environmental stability in the initial stage of use and in repetitive use and to provide a process cartridge with the photoreceptor and an electrophotographic apparatus. SOLUTION: In the method for producing the electrophotographic photoreceptor having a photosensitive layer on an electrically conductive substrate, the photosensitive layer is formed by washing glass beads with water until the ionic conductivity of the water used for washing the glass beads becomes <=30μS/cm, dispersing a phthalocyanine pigment and the washed glass beads in a solvent and applying the resulting dispersion on the substrate.
