Abstract

Abstract An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a conductive support and a photosensitive layer provided on the conductive support. The photosensitive layer contains an oxytitanium phthalocyanine having intense peaks at 9.0 DEG , 14.2 DEG , 23.9 DEG and 27.1 DEG in the Bragg angle (2 theta +/-0.2 DEG ) of CuK alpha characteristics X-ray diffraction or an oxytitanium phthalocyanine having intense peaks at 7.4 DEG , 9.2 DEG , 10.4 DEG , 11.6 DEG , 13.0 DEG , 14.3 DEG , 15.0 DEG , 15.5 DEG , 23.4 DEG , 24.1 DEG , 26.2 DEG and 27.2 DEG in the Bragg angle (2 theta +/-0.2 DEG ) of CuK alpha characteristics X-ray diffraction, and further contains a non-metallic phthalocyanine. <IMAGE>
