電子写真感光体に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to electrophotographic copying machines, laser beam printers,
CRT printers, electrophotographic plate making systems, etc.
The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor that can be widely used in photographic applications, and more particularly to an electrophotographic photoreceptor that is highly sensitive and has excellent durability.

性の低いことが一つの大きな欠点であるとされてきた。In recent years, the development of organic photoconductive materials as photoconductive materials for electrophotographic photoconductors (hereinafter abbreviated as photoconductors) has progressed, and in particular, functionally separated photoconductors in which a charge generation layer and a charge transport III are laminated have already been developed. It has been put into practical use and is installed in copiers and printers. However, one major drawback of these photoreceptors has been that they generally have low durability.

Particularly when the oxidation potential of the charge transport material is less than 0.6 V, this deterioration is significant, and as the image is used for long periods of time, the image becomes distorted and characters become indistinguishable, a phenomenon called so-called image pickling. Therefore, in order to obtain high-quality images, it is essential to polish the surface of the photoreceptor to always present a fresh surface. However, as attempts were made to improve mechanical durability by dispersing various lubricants on the surface of the photoreceptor, the amount of abrasion decreased significantly, and the deteriorated charge transport material could no longer be removed promptly.
Currently, the occurrence of image picketing has become evident.

ないものである。The present inventors have discovered that it is effective to use a compound with an oxidation potential of 0.6 V or more as a charge transport material contained on the surface as a solution to these problems, and have put a highly durable photoreceptor into practical use. However, new problems have been pointed out depending on how the photoreceptor is used. In other words, if the photoreceptor is left in the copier for a long time after being used continuously,
A phenomenon occurs in which the charging ability of the photoreceptor in the vicinity of the charger that performs corona discharge appears to be lowered, resulting in the appearance of white streaks on the image, so-called white spots. This day drop phenomenon is a unique phenomenon that appears when a charge transport material with an oxidation potential of 0.6 V or more is used.
.. This is not seen at all in charge transport materials with low oxidation potentials of less than 6V.

るものである。It is believed that the above-mentioned image pickling and the occurrence of white spots are both caused by ozone and NOx generated during corona discharge. In other words, when the oxidation potential of the charge transport material is less than 0.6 V, the 1jtt charge transport material itself is oxidized on the surface of the photoreceptor by the action of ozone and NOx and becomes low in resistance, causing image pixelation. Charge transport materials with a voltage of 0.6 V or higher are not susceptible to oxidation, so ozone and NOx penetrate deep into the photoreceptor and oxidize the charge-generating materials, lowering their resistance. As a result, holes are injected from the substrate. It is presumed that this promotes the appearance of the upper potential and that a white-out phenomenon occurs. This apparent potential drop occurs even during durable use, but it is not observed as a sun drop phenomenon, which is a partial potential drop because the surface potential drop occurs uniformly on the surface of the photoreceptor. However, when the charger is left unattended after continuous use, the local potential drop near the charger where ozone and NOx concentrations are extremely high becomes noticeable as white spots.
