Abstract:
An electrophotographic apparatus in which a light receiving member is rotated and the steps of charging, exposure, developing, transfer and cleaning are successively repeated and in which a developer of an average particle diameter of 5 to 8 .mu.m is applied for developing onto a surface of the light receiving member and transferred from the light receiving member surface to a transfer medium and the light receiving member surface after the transfer of the developer is scrape-cleaned with an elastic rubber blade having the modulus of repulsion elasticity of not less than 10% nor more than 50%, wherein the light receiving member has a surface layer comprised of a non-monocrystalline fluorinated carbon film in which the wear loss after copying steps of 10,000 A4-size transfer sheets is not less than 0.1 .ANG. nor more than 100 .ANG..
