Abstract

In order to improve release properties and slipperiness of toner on a surface of a photosensitive member, the surface layer of the photosensitive member is formed of a non-single-crystal carbon film having a low spin density and a short spin relaxation time and containing at least hydrogen atom, to thereby provide a photosensitive member that can form highly minute and high-grade images and has a superior durability and provide a photosensitive member that has a high sensitivity, may not cause any faulty images due to a leak, and can stably obtain ghost-free, high-grade images without causing any changes with time.
