the like or it can be a material in which conductive treatment is applied on top of a surface such as glass or resin and the like undercoat layer 2 comprises a layer having a main component of a resin and a metal oxide coating such as aluminite and the like undercoat layer 2 can be provided as needed in order to control the injection of charge from the conductive substrate to the photosensitive layer or to cover defects on the substrate surface or to improve the adhesion of the photosensitive layer with the substrate for the resin material used in the undercoat layer insulated high molecular resins such as casein polyvinyl alcohol polyamide melamine cellulose and the like or conductive high molecular resins such as polythiophene polypyrrole aniline and the like can be used these resins can be used singly or can be used by combining and mixing as appropriate furthermore these resins can also contain metal oxides such as titanium dioxide zinc oxide and the like charge generating layer 4 is constructed from an organic charge generating material and a resin binder for the charge generating material phthalocyanine compounds such as metal free phthalocyanine titanyl phthalocyanine and the like pigments or dyes and the like such as various azo quinone indigo cyanine squarilium azulenium pyrylium compounds and the like can be used preferably a tau type metal free phthalocyanine is used for the resin binder polymers and copolymers of polycarbonate polyester polyamide polyurethane epoxy silicone vinyl chloride vinyl acetate and the like can be used singly or can be combined and used the usage amount for the charge generating material is 5 500 weight parts with respect to 10 weight parts of resin binder and preferably is 10 100 weight parts in addition charge.
