Abstract:
1. A method for producing an electrophotographic photoreceptor having at least a first photosensitive layer and a second photosensitive layer laminated in that order on a conductive substrate, the method comprising: a first coating step of applying a coating liquid that contains a sublimable antioxidant and a photoconductive substance, onto a conductive substrate to thereby form a first coating film thereon; a first drying step of drying the formed first coating film by heating to thereby form a first photosensitive layer; a second coating step of applying the coating liquid used in the first coating step, onto the first photosensitive layer to thereby form a second coating film; a second drying step of drying the formed second coating film by heating to thereby form a second photosensitive layer; wherein, in the second drying step, the drying condition for the second coating film is made to differ from the drying condition for the first coating film in the first drying step so that a degree of sublimation of the antioxidant in the second drying step is lower than that of sublimation of the antioxidant in the first drying step.
