Abstract
A method is provided for testing a charge generation layer disposed directly on an undercoat layer disposed directly on an aluminum-based cylindrical support member formed by extrusion and drawing having a periphery not subjected to cutting work. The method includes testing the charge generation layer for a defect or a suspected defect by irradiating the charge generation layer with light, and receiving reflected light from the charge generation layer with a light receiving device. The light emitted to the charge generation layer has a wavelength within the range of the absorption wavelengths of the charge generation layer, and whose transmittance to the undercoat layer is 0.3% or less.
