扱い上にも制約があった。However, these are not necessarily satisfactory in terms of sensitivity, thermal stability, moisture resistance, durability, etc. In addition, selenium and cadmium sulfide are particularly toxic, so there are restrictions in production and handling.

の利点を有し、近年多くの注目を集めている。On the other hand, electrophotographic photoreceptors having a photosensitive layer containing an organic photoconductive compound as a main component are relatively easy to manufacture, inexpensive, and easy to handle, and are generally more expensive than selenium photoreceptors. It has many advantages such as excellent thermal stability, and has attracted a lot of attention in recent years.

おいて必ずしも満足できるものではない。As such an organic photoconductive compound, poly-N-vinylcarbazole is well known.
7-) An electrophotographic photoreceptor having a photosensitive layer containing a charge transfer complex formed from a Lewis acid such as dinitro-9-fluorenone is described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-10596. However, this photoreceptor is not necessarily satisfactory in sensitivity and durability.

成し得るという利点をもっている。On the other hand, laminated type or dispersed type functionally separated plastic photoreceptors, in which the carrier generation function and the carrier transport function are assigned to separate substances, have a wide range of materials to choose from, and have improved charging characteristics, sensitivity, and durability. It has the advantage that an electrophotographic photoreceptor having arbitrary properties can be produced relatively easily.

用化されている。For example, an electrophotographic photoreceptor has been put into practical use that has a photosensitive layer that combines a carrier generation a made of amorphous selenium and a carrier transfer layer made of poly-N-vinylcarbazole as a main component.
しかし、無定形セレンから成るキャリア発生層は耐久性
に劣るという欠点を有する。However, a carrier generation layer made of amorphous selenium has a drawback of poor durability.
また、有機染料や顔料をキャリア発生物質として用いる
電子写真感光体も雅々提案されている。Furthermore, electrophotographic photoreceptors using organic dyes or pigments as carrier-generating substances have also been proposed.

要となり、複写機の設計上、不都合である。For example, JP-A-47-37543 describes a bisazo compound, JP-A-53-132347 describes a trisazo compound,
JP-A-49-11136 describes phthalocyanine compounds,
The electrophotographic photoreceptors used in each are described. However, these photoreceptors are not necessarily satisfactory in terms of characteristics such as sensitivity, residual potential, and stability when used in reverse, and the selection range of carrier transfer substances is also limited. Furthermore, many of these photoreceptors have a photosensitive wavelength range that extends to the long wavelength side of the visible range, resulting in poor image reproducibility for red originals. Therefore, when actually incorporated into a copying machine, a filter for cutting red light is required, which is inconvenient in terms of the design of the copying machine.

By using it as a carrier generating material, it has excellent film properties, excellent electrophotographic properties such as charge retention, sensitivity, and residual potential, and has little fatigue deterioration even after repeated use, and is resistant to heat and light as mentioned above. It is possible to create an electrophotographic photoreceptor that exhibits stable characteristics without changing its characteristics.
