PURPOSE:To enhance photosensitivity and resolution by forming a surface protective layer made of metal salicylate. CONSTITUTION:The electrophotographic sensitive body is formed by successively laminating on a conductive substrate a photoconductive layer, and the surface protective layer made of the salicylate of a metal, such as zinc or aluminum, formed by dissolving this salt in a solvent, such as alcohol, ketone, ether, or ester, coating the photoconductive layer with it and drying it, thus permitting light absorption and scattering to be eliminated on the surface of the surface protective layer, accordingly, flatness and high transmittance in the wavelength region of 400-700nm to be obtained, and electrostatic characteristics, such as photosensitivity, and image forming characteristics, such as resolution to be enhanced. |
