Light receiving member for electrophotography having roughened intermediate layer

An electrophotographic photosensitive member for electrophotographic device employing laser beam as the light source comprising an intermediate layer between a substrate of a metal or an alloy having a reflective surface and a photosensitive layer, the reflective surface of said substrate forming a light-diffusing reflective surface, and the surface of said intermediate layer forming a rough surface having an average surface roughness of about 0.5 to 30 .mu.m.

A light receiving layer comprising a subbing layer having a light-diffusing reflective surface with an average surface roughness of about 0.5 to 30 .mu.m provided between an electroconductive substrate and a photosensitive layer.

An electrophotographic photosensitive member for use in electrophotographic device provided with laser beam as the exposure light source, said electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising an electroconductive substrate, a photosensitive layer, and a subbing layer having an average surface roughness of about 0.5 to 30 .mu.m between said electroconductive substrate and photosensitive layer.
