Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrophotographic sensitive member for use in a laser line printer. A laser line printer using a laser beam as a recording member has been known for a small-sized, light, low power consumption, high-density and high-speed recording method. For example, a semi-conductor laser printer and an electrophotographic sensitive member mainly formed of amorphous silicon used therein are being watched with interest. However, since this laser beam is monochromatic, a laser beam incident upon the inside of a photosensitive layer is very much inclined to be not sufficiently absorbed by the photosensitive layer to reach an electrically conductive substrate and be reflected at the surface of the electrically conductive substrate. With a photosensitive member having a photosensitive layer laminated on an electrically conductive substrate, there has been a problem in that a part of an incident ray such as a semiconductor laser ray is reflected by the electrically conductive substrate and if a part of this reflected ray is reflected by the surface of the photosensitive layer again, an interference occurs between this twice reflected ray and the incident ray to pr…
