Electrophotographic, photosensitive member and image forming apparatus

摘要

A cylindrical, photosensitive member is disclosed which has a photosensitive layer comprising amorphous silicon provided on an electroconductive substrate, and in which the thickness of the electroconductive substrate is not less than 0.1 mm but less than 2.5 mm, thereby accomplishing cost reduction of the photosensitive member and also accomplishing prevention of variations of image density and image smearing by high-accuracy temperature control.
