Abstract
The present invention relates to a photosensitive member which comprises on a conductive substrate a first layer of amorphous silicon: germanium; a second layer of amorphous silicon with a rectifying property and a third layer of amorphous silicon. Using this photosensitive member, an image is formed by charging, exposing to a light of short wavelength, exposing to an optical image of long wavelength to form a latent image and developing the latent image. This latent image can be repeatedly used to form a plurality of copies.
