Abstract:
1. An electrophotographic apparatus comprising: an electrophotographic photosensitive member including a photoconductive layer, a surface layer, and N intermediate layers disposed between the photoconductive layer and the surface layer, N being an odd number more than 2; and an image exposure apparatus for irradiating a surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member with an image exposure beam having a central wavelength of λ [μm] and forming a latent image on the surface, wherein, where n wherein, for each of odd-numbered intermediate layers counting from the photoconductive layer side, n wherein, for each of the odd-numbered intermediate layers counting from the photoconductive layer side, there exists p wherein, among combinations in which two intermediate layers are selected from the odd-numbered layers counting from the photoconductive layer side, there exists at least one combination at which q for enabling the sum of the products (n
