Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a laminated photosensitive material for electrophotography, which comprises a conductive substrate, an undercoat layer formed of a composition comprising a resin binder having no substantial photoconductivity and photoconductive zinc oxide in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per part by weight of the resin binder, an intermediate layer formed of a composition comprising a polyvinyl carbazole type photoconductor and photoconductive zinc oxide in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per part by weight of the photoconductor and a topcoat layer comprised of a polyvinyl carbazole type photoconductor. This laminated photosensitive material has a very high sensitivity and a high initial charge voltage in combination and provides an image having a high density and a high contrast.
