An electrophotographic photoreceptor including annelectroconductive substrate; a photosensitive layer locatednoverlying the electroconductive substrate and including anresin; and a surface layer including a filler and a binder resin,nwherein the surface layer and the photosensitive layer have ancontinuous structure, and wherein the surface layer satisfiesnthe following relationship: σ ≦ D/5, wherein D represents annaverage of maximum thicknesses of the surface layer in unitsnof micrometers in 20 segments of 5 µm wide when a portion ofna cross section of the photoreceptor of 100 µm wide is dividedninto the 20 segments, and σ represents a standard deviationnof the 20 maximum thicknesses. |
