Abstract
A light receiving member comprising a photoconductive layer disposed on an electrically conductive surface of a substrate, said photoconductive layer being constituted by a non-single crystal material containing silicon atoms as a matrix and at least one kind of atoms selected from hydrogen atoms and halogen atoms, wherein said photoconductive layer contains a plurality of layer regions which are different from each other with respect to characteristic energy at an exponential tail obtained from a light absorption spectrum, hydrogen content and optical band gap. The light receiving member exhibits excellent potential characteristics and image-forming performance for visible laser.
