Electrophotographic apparatus with photosensitive member having surface layer of binder resin and fluoro and/or silicon compound particles
First Claim
1. An electrophotographic apparatus comprising an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a transfer means, wherein:
- said electrophotographic photosensitive member comprises a conductive support having on its surface a photosensitive layer, and said electrophotographic photosensitive member has a surface layer comprising carbon atoms and at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine atoms and silicon atoms, the proportion of fluorine atoms and silicon atoms to carbon atoms (F+Si)/C, in said surface layer as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy being from 0.01 to 1.0; and
said transfer means transfers different colors one by one onto a transfer medium in a plurality of times.

Abstract
An electrophotographic apparatus is disclosed which has an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a transfer device. The photosensitive member has a conductive support and a photosensitive layer, and further has a surface layer formed of a binder resin, fluorine atom- or silicon atom-containing compound particles incompatible with the binder resin, and a fluorine atom- or silicon atom-containing compound compatible with the binder resin. In the surface layer, the proportion of fluorine atoms and silicon atoms to carbon atoms, (F+Si)/C, as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is 0.01 to 1.0. Additionally, the transfer device is a multiple-transfer device.
