Although the laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor according to the present invention has the above-described structure, a protective layer may be provided on the second charge generation layer 5.

Next, an explanation will be given of an image forming method using this photoreceptor, starting with a case where a light source such as tungsten is used. First, a uniform positive charge is applied to the photoreceptor according to a conventional method. Positive charges exist on the surface of the photoreceptor, and negative charges exist at the interface between the support and the first charge generation layer. In addition to this, a light source such as tungsten (
Image exposure (background exposure) is performed through a light source with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm. Through this exposure, the second charge generation layer 5 absorbs light and generates positive (positive polarity) carriers and negative (negative polarity) carriers, and the negative carriers are neutralized with the positive charges on the surface of the photoreceptor. The positive carriers pass through the charge transfer layer 4 and neutralize the negative charges on the interface. the result,
Positive charges remain on the photoreceptor in non-exposed areas (corresponding to image areas), forming an electrostatic charge image. If this is developed with negative polarity toner, a positive image can be obtained (analog copying with positive charging)

On the other hand, the photoreceptor is uniformly negatively charged in accordance with a conventional method so that negative charges are present on the photoreceptor and positive charges are present at the interface between the support and the first charge generation layer. Image-saving exposure (image exposure) is then performed using a light source such as a semiconductor laser (a light source with a wavelength of 700 nm or more). Through this exposure, the first charge generation layer 3 absorbs light and generates positive carriers and negative carriers, and the negative carriers are neutralized with the positive charges on the interface. Neutralizes negative charges on the surface. As a result, negative charges remain on the photoreceptor in non-exposed areas (corresponding to non-image areas), forming an electrostatic charge image. If this is developed with positive polarity toner, a negative image can be obtained (digital copying with negative charge).

Swapping the positions of the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer,
In addition, positive charging similar to the above - analog copying, negative charging - is performed by using a charge transfer layer with large negative carrier mobility.
Digital copying may be considered, but in this case, it is difficult to form a charge transfer layer with high negative carrier mobility, and when forming analog prints,
This is not preferable because the second charge generation layer absorbs light and causes a decrease in sensitivity.

Note that the laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor itself in which a charge transfer layer is provided between two charge generation layers is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-250.
No. 348, No. 60-254046, No. 60-2500
It is known from publications such as No. 46 and No. 60-263946. However, since these bipolar photoreceptors are used as a reversal development system and have two charge generation layers with no particular relationship, it is impossible to form images as in the present invention.
