such as copper and aluminum a surface treated paper in which a solvent is hardly immersed a synthetic resin film of which the intrinsic resistance is decreased to below 10 9 u03c9cm 1 preferably below 10 5 u03c9cm 1 by using an antistatic agent and a glass plate paper or synthetic resin film laminated with a metal or a metal oxide and or a metal halide by an evaporation process the practical application thereof can easily be accomplished by a rotary applying method a casting method and a doctor blade method in the practice of producing the same the preferred thickness of said sensitive layer may be 3 to 20 u03bc the generally popular production of an electron photographic image using the photosensitive element made by the foregoing methods may be achieved in a conventional electron photographic method for example by treating the sensitive layer several times with a corona discharge apparatus applied with 6 kv in a dark place the positive charge is accumulated on the surface of said sensitive layer and the potential becomes 300 to 900 v and on the other hand the reversion of position of the applied surface makes it possible to accumulate a negative charge on the surface of said sensitive layer on irradiating the sensitive layer with a proper light source for example tungsten electric bulb through a positive pattern the charge on the exposed portion is removed and on applying successively the sensitive layer with a negatively charged developer powder which has been broadly known as toner it gives.
