Abstract
A photosensitive member for electrophotography comprises a photosensitive layer containing a trisazo pigment represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein Ar.sub.1 is a pyridylene group capable of having a substituent; Ar.sub.2 and Ar.sub.3 are respectively a pyridylene group or an arylene group each capable of having a substituent; and A is a coupler residue having a phenolic OH group. Because the trisazo pigment has a characteristic central skeleton including the central nitrogen atom and an adjacent pyridylene group, the photosensitive member has a sensitivity region expanded to the near-infrared region and shows a stable charging characteristic during a continuous electrophotographic operation.
