ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic photoreceptor of the invention comprises a transparent substrate, a transparent conductive layer layered on the transparent substrate, a thin film intermediate layer made of semiconductor material or semiconductor insulating material having a band gap of 2.4 eV or larger, the thin film intermediate layer being formed by a vacuum deposition method and layered on the transparent conductive layer, and an amorphous silicon photoconductive layer layered on the thin film intermediate layer. The electrophotographic photoreceptor is used for an image forming method which comprises an exposure/developing step for carrying out an image exposure process by an exposure means located on the transparent substrate side and substantially at the same time carrying out under a bias voltage applied thereto by a developing means provided on the electrophotographic photoreceptor, and a transferring step for transferring a formed toner image to an image receiving means.
