The invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, a process
cartridge, and an image forming apparatus. The electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer of a single-layer type disposed on the conductive substrate. The photosensitive layer has an absorption coefficient of 0.008 or less at a
wavelength of 1000 nm and contains a binder resin, a charge generating material, an
electron transporting material, and a hole transporting material. The charge generating material is at least one selected from a hydroxygallium
phthalocyanine pigment and a chlorogallium
phthalocyanine pigment and is contained in an amount of 0.9% by weight or more and 1.8% by weight or less relative to the binder resin.
