Abstract
Description
本発明は、複写機、ファクシミリ、プリンタなどの画像形成装置に使用される電子写真感光体に関する。 The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive member used in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a facsimile machine, and a printer.
上記の画像形成装置では、当該装置に用いられる光源の波長領域に感度を有する種々の感光体が使用されている。その1つはセレンなどの無機材料を感光層に用いた無機感光体であり、他は有機材料を感光層に用いた有機感光体である。有機感光体は、無機感光体に比べて製造が容易であり、かつ電荷発生剤、電荷輸送剤(電子輸送剤・正孔輸送剤)、バインダ樹脂などの材料選択肢が多様で、機能設計の自由度が高いことから、近年、多く使用されるようになっている。 In the image forming apparatus described above, various photoreceptors having sensitivity in the wavelength region of the light source used in the apparatus are used. One is an inorganic photoreceptor using an inorganic material such as selenium for the photosensitive layer, and the other is an organic photoreceptor using an organic material for the photosensitive layer. Organic photoconductors are easier to manufacture than inorganic photoconductors, and have a wide range of material options such as charge generators, charge transport agents (electron transport agents / hole transport agents), binder resins, etc. Due to its high degree, it has been used in recent years.
有機感光体には、電荷発生剤を含有した電荷発生層と電荷輸送剤を含有した電荷輸送層との積層構造からなる、いわゆる積層型感光体と、電荷発生剤と電荷輸送剤とを単一層に含有させた、いわゆる単層型感光体とがある。 The organic photoconductor includes a so-called laminated photoconductor comprising a charge generating layer containing a charge generating agent and a charge transporting layer containing a charge transporting agent, and a single layer comprising a charge generating agent and a charge transporting agent. And so-called single-layer type photoreceptors.
これらの有機感光体に電荷輸送剤として含有される電子輸送剤には、一般に、3,5−ジメチル−3’,5’−ジt−ブチルジフェノキノンが使用される。しかしながら、この電子輸送剤を含有した感光体では十分な感度が得られない。 Generally, 3,5-dimethyl-3 ', 5'-di-t-butyldiphenoquinone is used as the electron transporting agent contained as a charge transporting agent in these organic photoreceptors. However, sufficient sensitivity cannot be obtained with a photoreceptor containing this electron transport agent.
一方、特許文献1には電子写真感光体の残留電位を低くして、光感度を向上させることができ、特に単層型の感光体として好適に使用できる化合物として、フェニルベンゾジフラノン誘導体が開示されている。しかしながら、フェニルベンゾジフラノン誘導体を使用した電子写真感光体は、いまだ光感度が不十分であるという問題があった。
本発明の課題は、高い感度を有する電子写真感光体を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor having high sensitivity.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、下記一般式(1)で示す特定の構造を有するピリドピリミジン誘導体を電子輸送剤として使用することにより、電子写真感光体の感度を向上させることができるという新たな事実を見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have used an electrophotographic photoreceptor by using a pyridopyrimidine derivative having a specific structure represented by the following general formula (1) as an electron transport agent. The present inventors have found a new fact that the sensitivity can be improved and have completed the present invention.
すなわち、本発明における電子写真感光体は、導電性基体上に、少なくとも電子輸送剤、電荷発生剤およびバインダ樹脂を含有した感光層が設けられたものであって、前記電子輸送剤が、下記一般式(1)で表される化合物であることを特徴とする。 That is, the electrophotographic photosensitive member in the present invention is obtained by providing a photosensitive layer containing at least an electron transport agent, a charge generating agent and a binder resin on a conductive substrate. It is a compound represented by Formula (1), It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
[式中、R1〜R3は炭素数1〜6のアルキル基、炭素数1〜6のアルコキシ基、炭素数6〜20のアラルキル基、炭素数6〜20のアリール基、または、炭素数3〜10のシクロアルキル基を示す。] [Wherein R 1 to R 3 are an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or a carbon number 3-10 cycloalkyl groups are shown. ]
本発明の電子写真感光体は、バインダ樹脂等との相溶性に優れ且つ高い電荷移動度を示す前記一般式(1)で表される化合物を電子輸送剤として使用するので、残留電位を効果的に低下させ、高い感度を得ることができると共に、良好な画像が得られるという効果がある。 The electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention uses the compound represented by the general formula (1), which is excellent in compatibility with a binder resin and the like and exhibits high charge mobility, as an electron transport agent, so that the residual potential is effectively reduced. In addition to being able to obtain high sensitivity, a good image can be obtained.
本発明の電子写真感光体は、導電性基体上に、少なくとも電子輸送剤、電荷発生剤およびバインダ樹脂を含有し、さらに必要に応じて正孔輸送剤を含有した感光層を設けたものである。この感光層には、単層型感光層と積層型感光層とがあるが、本発明には、いずれの感光層も適用可能である。
<電子輸送剤>

次に、上記で得られた電子写真感光体の感度特性を以下のようにして評価した。すなわち、電子写真感光体について、ドラム感度試験機(GENTEC社製)を用いて、700Vになるように帯電させ、ついでハロゲンランプの光からバンドパスフィルターを用いて取り出した波長780nmの単色光(半値幅:20nm、光量:1.5μJ/cm2)を露光[照射時間:0.08秒(80msec)]した。そして、露光開始から0.33秒(330msec)経過した時点での表面電位(残留電位)を測定し、それを感度とした。結果を表1に示す。 Next, the sensitivity characteristics of the electrophotographic photosensitive member obtained above were evaluated as follows. That is, the electrophotographic photosensitive member is charged to 700 V using a drum sensitivity tester (manufactured by GENTEC), and then monochromatic light having a wavelength of 780 nm extracted from the light of the halogen lamp using a bandpass filter (half-color) Value width: 20 nm, light quantity: 1.5 μJ / cm 2 ) was exposed [irradiation time: 0.08 seconds (80 msec)]. Then, the surface potential (residual potential) at the time when 0.33 seconds (330 msec) had elapsed from the start of exposure was measured and used as sensitivity. The results are shown in Table 1.
表1から、電子輸送剤として、一般式(1)で表される化合物を用いた実施例1〜6の電子写真感光体は、比較例の電子写真感光体に比べて高い感度を有していることがわかる。 From Table 1, the electrophotographic photoreceptors of Examples 1 to 6 using the compound represented by the general formula (1) as the electron transport agent have higher sensitivity than the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the comparative example. I understand that.
