An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive substrate having thereon at least a subbing layer comprising an organometallic compound (e.g., organozirconium or organotitanium compound) and 3 to 30% by weight, based on the organometallic compound, of a compatible binder resin, a charge generating layer prepared by using a coating composition comprising hydroxygallium phthalocyanine crystals (preferably those having a novel crystal form) as a charge generating material, a binder resin, and a halogenated benzene as a dispersing medium, and a charge transporting layer in this order. The photoreceptor is excellent in sensitivity and stability on repeated use and is free from coating defects.
