2. Description of the Related Art Various methods such as dip coating, spray coating, blade coating, and roll coating have been adopted as a method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photosensitive member by coating a photosensitive liquid on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical drum. Of these, the dip coating is most commonly used because of the excellent smoothness of the coating film surface and the uniformity of the coating film.

However, in the dip coating method, the cylindrical drum is not completely dipped so that the photosensitive liquid does not enter the cylindrical drum.
In order to immerse the cylindrical drum while leaving the upper end portion of the cylindrical drum, an unpainted portion was left on the upper end portion of the drum for manufacturing purposes. Therefore, the entire outer surface of the drum cannot be effectively used as a developing unit, and in order to secure a necessary developing area, the drum length must be set in consideration of the size of the uncoated portion, which increases cost or increases There has been a problem that the size of the apparatus itself, such as a fax machine or a copying machine having a built-in photographic photoreceptor is increased.
