The invention relates to a light-sensitive element consisting of an electrically conductive base and a photoconductive layer formed on the latter. The photoconductive layer is divided into at least two part layers, and each part layer contains photoconductive phthalocyanine powder dispersed in a binder resin. The photoconductive powder/binder resin weight ratio is different in each part layer, whereby both the brightness characteristics and the decay characteristics in the dark of the light-sensitive element are improved.
