An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a contact charger for charging the image bearing member, and a detector for detecting an electric current flowing through the charger when the charger changes a potential of a predetermined area of the image bearing member from a first potential to a second potential which is different from the first potential. In another aspect of the invention, the detector detects a flow of current through a second contact charger when a first oscillating voltage is applied by a first contact charger and a second oscillating voltage applied by the second contact charger which is different from the first oscillating voltage.

An electrophotographic apparatus includes a movable photosensitive member having a photoconductive layer, and a charging member for charging the photosensitive member. A latent image forming device forms an image on the photosensitive member, and an electric charge applying device applies an electric charge of a polarity opposite from a charging property of the charging member to the photosensitive member. The photosensitive member includes a rectifying layer on the photoconductive layer to provide, at an interface between the photoconductive layer and the rectifying layer, a p-n junction preventing electric charge of the opposite polarity from entering the photoconductive layer.

An electrophotographic process in which image information exposure step and a developing step are substantially simultaneously carried out to opposite sides of a photosensitive member includes preparing an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a conductive base layer transmitting light and a photosensitive layer thereon; exposing the conductive base side of the photosensitive member to light information; rubbing an opposite side of the photosensitive member with a developer supplied with a developing bias voltage of the same polarity as the polarity of the developer in a region including an upstream side end a downstream side of an image exposure region of the photosensitive member; wherein an absolute value of a sum of a triboelectric charge potential provided on a surface of the photosensitive member by rubbing between the developer and the photosensitive member, and a surface potential of the photosensitive member provided by application of the developing bias upstream of the image exposure region, is larger than an absolute value of the developing bias.

An image transfer apparatus for transferring a toner image onto a transfer material includes an image bearing member for carrying a developed toner image; image transfer bias applying roller for contacting to a backside of the transfer material, for urging it to the image bearing member having the toner image and for applying a transfer bias to transfer the toner image to the transfer material; wherein amounts of charge applied to the transfer material by the transfer bias applying roller during its transfer operation satisfyA.gtoreq.B/2where A (Coulomb/cm.sup.2) is an amount of the charge at a portion where a surface potential of the image bearing member is relatively low, and B (Coulomb/cm.sup.2) is an amount of the charge at a portion where the surface potential of the image bearing member is relatively high. Then, disturbance to the image by the image transfer operation can be avoided.
