Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising: a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer on the conductive substrate, said photosensitive layer containing an azo pigment of the following formula (1):CP.sub.1 --N.dbd.N--Ar.sub.1 --(N.dbd.N--Ar.sub.2)--N.dbd.N--Cp.sub.2. . . (1)wherein Ar.sub.1 and Ar.sub.2 are each a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic cyclic group optionally bonded through a bonding group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group optionally bonded through a bonding group, and cp.sub.1 and cp.sub.2 are each a group having the following formula (2), (3), (4) or (5): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.

Abstract: An electrophotograph photosensitive material comprising a photosensitive layer containing an azo pigment on an electroconductive substrate thereof, wherein said azo pigment in which an organic comprises residual group as expressed by the following general formula (I) bonded to an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group optionally via a bonding or coupling group: ##STR1## wherein X is a residual group for forming an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group condensed with a benzene ring, A is --NR.sub.4 -- wherein R.sub.4 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aralkyl group or aryl group, R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aralkyl group or aryl group, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each is a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aralkyl group, carbamoyl group, aryl group, heterocyclic group, halogen atom, nitro group, acyl group, cyano group or together, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 form a ring and are the same or different from each other.

Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a photosensitive layer on an electroconductive support, characterized in that the photosensitive member contains an azo pigment having an organic residue represented by the formula (I).
