Abstract
Abstract An electrophotographic photosensitive member comprises a conductive support, and at least a charge generation layer, a first charge transport layer containing a charge transporting material, and a second charge transport layer containing a charge transporting material having higher oxidation potential than that of the charge transporting material contained in said first charge transport layer, which layers are successively laminated on said conductive support.
