Photosensitive member having an amorphous carbon transport layer

摘要

The present invention provides a photosensitive member comprising a hydrogen-containing carbon layer as a charge transporting layer, which contains an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge and Sn; the hydrogen-containing carbon layer facilitates the injection of charge and decreases residual potential, and memory and increases sensitivity. Accordingly, a photosensitive member of the present invention is excellent in charge transporting property, sensitivity, charge holding property and imaged copy can be obtained.
