The present invention provides an electrophotosensitive material comprising a conductive substrate and a single photosensitive layer containing a stilbene derivative (hole transferring material) represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same or different and represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or a halogen atom; m, n, p and q are the same or different and represent an integer of 0 to 3, with the proviso that m and n represent a different integer when substituents represented by R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same and that p and q represent a different integer when substituents represented by R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are the same; and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are the same or different and represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group) and an electron transferring material, which is provided on the conductive substrate. This photosensitive material has high sensitivity and can be applied to any of positive and negative charging types with a single construction, and is also superior in optical characteristics.

The object of the invention is to provide a highly characteristic and lesser defective image using an electrophotographic photoreceptor which can be produced with a better coating property and which is highly sensitive and hardly loses the electrostatic stability during repeated use. A water-soluble or water/alcohol-soluble polyvinyl acetal and an inorganic pigment are involved in an underlayer provided between a conductive support and a photoconductive layer. Particularly, it is favorable to use titanium oxide as the inorganic pigment, make the ratio of polyvinyl acetal/titanium oxide 1/9-9/1 by weight, make the underlayer 0.5-5 .mu.m in thickness, use the titanium oxide of which the surface is treated with alumina, use the titanium oxide of which the titanium oxide component is 95% by weight or lower and of which the surface is treated with alumina, use the polyvinyl acetal of which the sodium ion concentration is 40 ppm or lower, and use the photo-conductive layer which contains a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate type copolymer. As for a dispersing medium for coating the underlayer, water/alcohol=1/9-7/3 (ratio by weight) is selected. The aforementioned photoreceptor is applied to an image-forming apparatus using an inversion development process.
摘要:
A photosensitive material for electrophotography, wherein the charge-generating agent comprises a P-type charge-generating pigment and an N-type charge-generating pigment in combination, at least part of these pigments being present in the form of aggregates in the photosensitive layer. The photosensitive material will assume the form of either a single dispersion type or a laminated layer type, and exhibits very high carrier generation efficiency, strikingly improved sensitivity on the side of long wavelengths, excellent balance in the spectral sensitivity and property after repetitively used, and can hence be effectively used for forming image by the electrophotography.

摘要:
Highly sensitive and highly durable electrophotographic photoreceptors which generate faultless images can be produced by forming the under-coating layer on the conductive support and forming the photoreceptive layer on the layer. The under-coating layer contains dendritic titanium oxide. The under-coating layer contains the dendritic titanium oxide of which the surface is coated with (a) metal oxide(s) and/or (an) organic compound(s). The photoreceptive layer contains a phthalocyanine pigment, and the under-coating layer contains dendritic or needle-like titanium oxide of which the surface is coated with (a) metal oxide(s) and/or (an) organic compound(s). The photoreceptive layer contains a phthalocyanine pigment, and the under-coating layer contains dendritic or needle-like titanium oxide, of which the surface is coated with (a) metal oxide(s) and/or (an) organic compound(s), and an alcohol soluble polyamide resin.
摘要:
An object of the invention is to provide a highly characteristic image using an electrophotographic photoreceptor of which a charge-generating layer can be produced with a better coating property and which is highly sensitive and electrostatically highly stable in repeated use. The charge-generating layer of a function-separated type photoreceptor contains a n-type non-metallic phthalocyanine and a copolymer of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate type. Particularly, the ratio of the .tau.-type non-metallic phthalocyanine to the copolymer of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate type is fixed at 1/3-3/1 by weight. The thickness of the charge-generating layer is fixed at 0.1-0.6 .mu.m. As the copolymer of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate type, copolymers of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-maleic acid, or vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-vinyl alcohol are selected. Particularly, it is favorable to select those containing at least 10% by weight of the vinyl alcohol component. The charge-generating layer is formed with a liquid coating material using a ketone solvent as dispersant. The aforementioned photoreceptor is applied to an image-forming apparatus using an inversion development process.
