An electrophotographic member which can give printed images of high quality and is markedly high in photoresponsiveness can be provided without using halogen solvents by using a composition for charge transport layer which contains a polycarbonate resin having a recurring structural unit represented by the following formula (I) and, if necessary, a specific styryl compound, a specific hydrazone compound and the like: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 =alkyl, etc.

Composition for charge transport layer and electrophotographic member

A charge transport layer formed from a composition comprising a mixed solvent containing alkoxybenzene and a charge transport material, or a photoconductive layer formed from a composition comprising alkoxybenzene and an organic photoconductive material are effective for producing electrophotographic members excellent in image without damaging the circumstances as well as stable in maintaining good charging characteristics and dark decay characteristics after repeated use.

An electrophotographic plate having a protective layer comprising a fluorine-containing copolymer having monomer units of a fluoroolefin, and an alkyl vinyl ether and/or cycloalkyl vinyl ether on an organic photoconductive layer formed on the electroconductive layer is excellent in electrophotographic properties and durability.
