Abstract:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer is a multi-layer photosensitive layer having a charge transport layer being an outermost layer or a single-layer photosensitive layer. The amount of silica particles contained in the photosensitive layer is at least 0.5 parts by mass and no greater than 15 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of a binder resin contained in the photosensitive layer.
Abstract:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer includes a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer located on the charge generating layer. The charge transport layer contains a pigment that is absorptive with respect to a wavelength of exposed light. The pigment is a metal phthalocyanine pigment represented by General Formula (I) or a metal-free phthalocyanine pigment represented by General Formula (II), where X represents a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom. R1 represents an aryl group or an alkyl group. R2-R4 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, a phenoxy group, an alkylthio group, a phenylthio group, or a dialkylamino group. M represents a metal atom. Y represents non-substitution or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, an oxygen atom, or a hydroxyl group.
