Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a photoconductor which comprises a support, and at least a photoconductive layer disposed above the support; an electrostatic charger for uniformly charging the photoconductor, being arranged at a distance from the photoconductor of 100 μm or less; and a light irradiator for irradiating a coherent light imagewisely to the photoconductor imagewisely, wherein I(S) at a surface of the photoconductor and I(S) at an interface of the photoconductive layer on a side of the support are each 5.0×10 wherein a sum of I(S) at the surface of the photoconductor and I(S) at the interface of the photoconductive layer on the side of the support is 3.0×10 each I(S) being determined by: wherein n and m are each an integer; and N is 2 ρ , where ρ is an integer,
