PURPOSE:To obtain a photosensitive element with an even surface and superior cleaning efficiency by adhering a bubble guiding member to the upper end part of the surface of a conductive substrate during bubbles are generated on a coated layer surface in case of forming the coating layer on the conductive substrate by dipping and coating method to remove the bubbles from the surface to the external. CONSTITUTION:Before forming an insulating layer on the surface of a cylinder 3 obtained by forming a photoconductive layer containing a photoconductive material and a binder e.g. on a cylindrical base element, a tool A which winds one side 21 of a flexible sheet member such as polyethylene around the periphery of the cylindrical base element 1 and winds the other side 22 around the cylinder 3 is attached to the upper end part of the cylinder 3 dipped into a filler solution 5 such as cyclized polybutadiene rubber in case of applying the filler solution to the photoconductive layer by dipping in order to fill up pores or the like of the photoconductive layer. The peripheral end surface of the cylinder 3 is converted with the projected end 22 of the tool A and the inner side of the sheet 2 is adhered with the outer surface of the cylinder 3. After removing bubbles generated on the photoconductive surface to the external, the tool A is removed to obtained an even surface free from bubbles. If necessary, bubbles are removed at the formation of the photoconductive layer or the insulating layer in the same manner. |
