METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the manufacture of a multilayered electrophotographic image forming member. SOLUTION: This method for manufacturing the multilayered electrophotographic image forming member includes a stage for forming the image forming member including a substrate coated with a charge generating layer having an exposed surface, a stage for forming a first continuous charge transfer layer thicker than about 13 μm and thinner than about 20 μm after drying by applying a first solution containing charge transfer micromolecules and a film formable binder on the exposed surface, a stage for forming at least a second continuous charge transfer layer thicker than about 13 μm and thinner than about 20 μm by applying at least a second solution having substantially the same composition as the composition of the first solution on the exposed surface of the first charge transfer layer and a stage for forming the further continuous charge transfer layer thicker than about 13 μm and thinner than about 20 μm by applying the further solution having substantially the same composition as the composition of the first solution on the second continuous charge transfer layer at need.
