Abstract

In an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a support, and provided thereon a photosensitive layer, a surface layer of the electrophotographic photosensitive member contains a high-molecular-weight charge-transporting material having a weight-average molecular weight Mw of from 1,000 or more to 9,000 or less, and the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight Mw of the high-molecular-weight charge-transporting material to a number-average molecular weight Mn of the high-molecular-weight charge-transporting material, Mw/Mn, is from more than 1.00 to 1.10 or less. Also disclosed are a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which have such an electrophotographic photosensitive member.
