Electrophotographic photosensitive body

An electrophotographic photosensitive body comprising a conductive support having thereon a layer comprising at least two p-terphenyl compounds selected form the following compounds (1) to (5):

• and at least one polycarbonate resin represented by the following general formula (I):
• wherein R1 and R2 which may be the same or different represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group;
• R1 and R2 may be combined to form a ring;
• R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 which may be the same or different represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a halogen atom, p and q represent a molar compositional fraction (q includes zero);
• a ratio of p and q has a relationship satisfying the formula 0≦q/p≦2;
• Z represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted 4,4′-biphenylene group or a divalent group represented by the following general formula (II):
• wherein R11 and R12 which may be the same or different represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group;
• R11 and R12 may be combined to form a ring;
• R13, R14, R15 and R16 which may be the same or different represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a halogen atom, and r is an integer of from 0 to 3,
• in a mass ratio of the p-terphenyl compounds to the polycarbonate resin within the range of 2:8 to 7:3, with the proviso that when only one kind of the polycarbonate resin is used, the case where the polycarbonate resin represented by the general formula (I) has a structure that R1 and R2 are a methyl group, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are a hydrogen atom, and q is 0 is excluded.
