Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive body () having a charge transport layer () as a surface layer. The charge transport layer () as the surface layer is charged and exposed so that a latent image is formed thereon. In order to form a basic dot whose diameter is from 10 μm to 25 μm, a thickness t (μm) of the charge transport layer () and a diameter D (μm) of the basic dot satisfy the relationship of t≦D/2.
