Abstract
The photoconductor of the invention includes a conductive substrate, a photoconductive film on the conductive substrate and an intermediate layer between the conductive substrate and the photoconductive film. The intermediate layer contains first inorganic pigment particles having a primary particle diameter of 0.1 .mu.m or less, and second inorganic pigment particles having a primary particle diameter from 0.1 to 1.0 .mu.m. At least 10 wt % of the second inorganic pigment particles is contained in the intermediate layer. The photoconductor prevents interference fringes and image defects, and provides excellent images.
