Abstract

An electrophotographic method in which an electrostatic latent image on a single-layer organic photosensitive material is developed while applying a developing bias voltage of the same polarity as the polarity of the charge of the photosensitive material. The developing bias voltage is set to be higher than a potential that corresponds to a point where a curve approximating the zone of a large amount of exposure to light and a curve approximating the zone of a small amount of exposure to light in a light decay characteristics curve intersect each other.
