Abstract

An electrophotographic photoconductor has an electroconductive support, and a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer successively formed on the electroconductive support, the charge transport layer allowing any monochromatic light with a wavelength in a wavelength region of 390 to 460 nm to pass through and exhibiting a fluorescence generation coefficiency of 0.8 or less when irradiated with the monochromatic light. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus and a process cartridge employ the above-mentioned photoconductor.
