ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive member and an image forming apparatus provided with the same. The electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a substantially cylindrical body and a photosensitive layer having a latent image forming area formed on the body. The photosensitive layer includes a first end in the axial direction of the latent image forming area and a second end located opposite to the first end in the axial direction. The first end is pressed harder than the second end. In the photosensitive layer, thickness or dynamic indentation hardness at the first end at one side of the latent image forming area is larger than thickness or dynamic indentation hardness at the second end located opposite to the first end in the axial direction of the latent image forming area.
