Patent ID: 7732113

Claim:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member which comprises a support, a conductive layer formed on the support, an intermediate layer formed on the conductive layer, and a photosensitive layer formed on the intermediate layer, wherein; said conductive layer is a layer formed by using a conductive layer coating fluid which contains (a) TiO 2 particles coated with oxygen deficient SnO 2 (P) having an average particle diameter of from 0.20 μm or more to 0.60 μm or less and (b) a binding material (B), wherein a mass ratio of (P):(B) is from 2.3:1.0 to 3.3:1.0; and said conductive layer has a volume resistivity of from more than 8.0×10 8 Ωcm to 1.0×10 11 Ωcm or less.
