Light receiving member having a multilayered light receiving layer composed of a lower layer made of aluminum-containing inorganic material and an upper layer made of non-single-crystal silicon material
 There is provided an improved light receiving member for electrophotography which is made up of an aluminum support and a multilayered light receiving layer exhibiting photoconductivity formed on said aluminum support, wherein said multilayered light receiving layer consists of a lower layer in contact with said support and an upper layer, said lower layer being made of an inorganic material containing at least aluminum atoms (Al), silicon atoms (Si), and hydrogen atoms (H), and having a part in which said aluminum atoms (Al), silicon atoms (Si), and hydrogen atoms (H) are unevenly distributed across the layer thickness, said upper layer being made of a non-single material composed of silicon atoms (Si) as the matrix and at least either of hydrogen atoms (H) or halogen atoms (X). The light receiving member for electrophotography exhibits outstanding electric characteristics, optical characteristics, photoconductive characteristics, durability, image characteristics, and adaptability to use environments.
