    摘要: An electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a conductive substrate and an at-least-one-layer photosensitive layer including a specific photosensitive layer. The specific photosensitive layer contains a charge generating material, a binder resin, an electron transport material, and a hole transport material. The binder resin includes a polyarylate resin. The polyarylate resin includes repeating units (1), (2), (3), and (4). A percentage of the number of repeats of the repeating unit (3) relative to a total number of repeats of the repeating units (1) and (3) is greater than 0% and less than 50%. A percentage of the number of repeats of the repeating unit (4) relative to a total number of repeats of the repeating units (2) and (4) is at least 35% and less than 70%. The electron transport material includes a compound represented by formula (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), or (17):

    摘要: A single-layer photosensitive layer included in an electrophotographic photosensitive member contains a charge generating material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, and a binder resin. The binder resin includes a polyarylate resin. The polyarylate resin includes repeating units represented by formulas (1), (2), (3), and (4). The percentage of the number of repeats of the repeating unit represented by formula (3) relative to a total of the number of repeats of the repeating unit represented by formula (1) and the number of repeats of the repeating unit represented by formula (3) is greater than 0% and less than 20%.

    摘要: Shaping a photoconductive drum includes preparing a dispersion having a charge generation composition and dipping an elongated support element into the dispersion. Withdrawing from the dispersion portions of the support element at different speeds results in different thicknesses of charge generation composition on the support element. Faster withdrawal results in thicker charge generation composition than does slower withdrawal. Portions with thicker composition provide denser optical densities compared to thinner composition allowing tailoring the photoconductive drum to compensate for imperfect optical scanning systems. Coating the support element with a charge transport layer occurs next, then curing. Oxidation of the support element may occur prior to application of the charge generation composition. A protective overcoat may also exist over the charge transport layer.

    摘要: An electrophotographic photoconductor includes: a conductive substrate; and a single-layer-type photoconductive layer that is provided on the conductive substrate and contains a binder resin, a charge generating material, a hole transporting material, and an electron transporting material, in which a volume resistivity of the photoconductive layer after wear is 5.0×1010 Ω·cm or more and 2.0×1011 Ω·cm or less when a ratio of a thickness of the photoconductive layer after wear to a thickness of the photoconductive layer before wear (the thickness of the photoconductive layer after wear/the thickness of the photoconductive layer before wear) is 0.8.
