の改善のために数多く提案されている。In addition, in recent years, functionally separated electrophotographic photoreceptors in which photoreceptor functions are shared among multiple members have been developed to improve electrophotographic properties such as charge retention characteristics, cyclic stability, photoresponsiveness, spectral characteristics, and mechanical strength. Many have been proposed.

公報)。Various proposals have also been made to form the intermediate layer using organic zirconium compounds such as carbon dioxide, zirconium chelate compounds, and zirconium alkoxides, and silane coupling agents. (For example, JP-A-59-223439, JP-A-61-94057, JP-A-62-273549).

樹脂層の機能を消失したりする。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, when providing a resin layer as an undercoat layer, the volume resistance can be kept low to the extent that the electrophotographic properties are not deteriorated by using a resin containing a relatively large amount of polar groups as the main layer. However, the volume resistivity of the resin is strongly dependent on ionic conductivity and is therefore significantly affected by temperature and humidity.
Alternatively, when placed under high temperature and high humidity, the resin layer may become extremely high in resistance, resulting in deterioration of the electrophotographic properties of the photosensitive layer, or the resin layer may become extremely low in resistance, resulting in the failure of the intended resin layer. function may be lost.
したがって、従来公知の樹脂層においては、感光体が有

であった。Therefore, in the conventionally known resin layer, only a part of the drawbacks of the photoreceptor can be improved, or if environmental characteristics are included, the effect is halved, and it is technically extremely insufficient.

得るものではなかった。On the other hand, when an organic zirconium compound or a silane coupling agent is used, the above-mentioned problems are considerably improved, but there is a problem that development contrast decreases due to an increase in residual potential. When a zirconium chelate compound is used, the thermosetting reactivity is insufficient, and when a zirconium alkoxide or silane coupling agent is used, the coating solution or coating film formation becomes unstable over time due to hydrolysis. However, it has not always been completely satisfactory, since it has problems such as thickness and disadvantages in the preparation of the intermediate layer.

かできる。(Effects of the Invention) Since the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention is provided with an undercoat layer containing zirconium and silicon in a predetermined ratio as described above,
It has electrophotographic properties with little dark decay, excellent charging properties, low development contrast, low residual potential, and excellent durability with little environmental fluctuation. Therefore, when a large number of sheets are continuously copied, the electrophotographic characteristics are stable, and excellent images without image quality defects such as white spots, black spots, rough spots, pinholes, etc. can be stably obtained.
