摘要:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member improved in cleaning performance and having a good image reproducibility, even in its long-term service, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which have the electrophotographic photosensitive member are provided. The electrophotographic photosensitive member has, on the surface of its photosensitive layer, has a plurality of depressed portions which are independent from one another, and, where the major-axis diameter of each depressed portion is represented by Rpc and the depth that shows the distance between the deepest part of each depressed portion and the opening thereof is represented by Rdv, the depressed portions each have a ratio of depth to major-axis diameter, Rdv/Rpc, of from more than 1.0 to 7.0 or less.

An electrophotographic photosensitive member is disclosed which is excellent in cleaning performance, has improved durability, and suppresses image defects in various environments. The electrophotographic photosensitive member has a support and a photosensitive layer provided on the support. Depressed portions independent of one another are formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member so that the number of the depressed portions per 100 µm square is 76 or more and 1,000 or less. The openings of the depressed portions have an average major axis diameter of more than 3.0 µm and 14.0 µm or less.
摘要:
To optimize the surface profile of an electrophotographic photosensitive member with the aim of improving cleaning performance, a process for producing such an electrophotographic photosensitive member is provided. In a process for producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member, which has the step of bringing the surface of an electrophotographic photosensitive member having at least a charge transport layer on a cylindrical support, and a mold having a fine unevenness surface profile into pressure contact with each other to transfer the fine unevenness surface profile to the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, the mold and the support are so temperature-controlled as to be T3
