Description: The present invention relates to an electrophotosensitive material. More particularly the invention relates to the electrophotosensitive materials ideally utilized for the image forming apparatus such as copying machine. Recently, an organic photosensitive materials are utilized for the electrophotosensitive material because the organic layer has wide freedom for the functional designing as well as workability and advantageous in production costs. It is well known that as the organic photosensitive material, the high sensitive functional types of electrophotosensitive material provide a photosensitive layer having the electric charge generating with exposure to light function with a charge-generating material and the electric charge-transferring function with a charge-transferring material, which materials are separated type. The document EP-A-0 314 195, a publication to be considered under Article 54(4) EPC, discloses an electrophotographic sensitive material containing a specific perylene compound as an electric charge generating substance, a specific diamine derivative as an electric charge transferring substance and a binding resin. There are variety of function-separated type photosensitive materials such as a multilayer type which comprises a charge-generating layer at least containing a charge-generating material, and a charge-transferring layer at least containing a charge-transferring material and a binding resin; and a single layer type photosensitive material wherein both of a charge-generating material and a charge-transferring material are dispersed into a binding resin. The multilayer type photosensitive material is different from the single layer type, and has the advantage in providing a high sensitivity and wide availability for selecting photosensitive material because the functions thereof are separated into two. For reasons that major charge-transferring materials are of positive charge, and that durability is given to the surface, the multilayer type of photosensitive material is generally employed for negative electrification, wherein the charge-generating layer is provided on the conductive substrate, and the charge-transferring layer is provided thereon. However, the multilayer type photosensitive material for negative electrification may generate ozone into the ambient atmosphere on negative electrifying, causing the sensitive layer to deteriorate and copying environment to contaminate. Also, a positive charge toner, which is difficult to make, is necessary in developing process. On the other side, the above mentioned single-layer type electrophotosensitive material can be charged negatively. Accordingly, the single-layer type electrophotosensitive material can be used with negative charge toner which is easy to manufacture. The negative charge toner may be produced with various materials. However, both the electron and positive hole are moved in one layer wherein either the electron or positive hole is trapped, causing the residual potential increasing. Moreover, it is yet a problem that electrophotosensitive characteristics such as the electrification characteristics, sensitivity and residual potential much depend upon the combination of charge-generating material and charge-transferring material. In order to remove the above mentioned problems, an electrophotosensitive material in which diamine derivatives are used as charge-transferring material is proposed. The diamine derivatives not only have symmetrical molecular structure, taking no part in an isomerization reaction caused by light irradiation thereby providing light stability, but feature large drift mobility and low electric field strength dependency. The electrophotosensitive material using diamine derivatives as charge-transferring material have high sensitivity and low residual potential. However, these electrophotosensitive materials are not yet complete to obtain the sufficient sensitivity and stability of surface potential in repetition of the copying process. It is an object of the present invention to provide a electrophotosensitive material which is superior in the electrophotosensitive characteristics such as electrification characteristics, sensitivity, residual potential and stability for reproducing.

The perylene compounds represented by the general formula (VI) may be used alone or in combination of plural types. The perylene compounds and dibenzopyrene compounds do not have spectro-sensitivity in the range of the long wave-length of light. Thus it is preferable that an oxotitanylphthalocyanine or metal-free phthalocyanine having spectro-sensitivity in long wavelength of light is added to the charge-generating material to obtain the electrophotosensitive material showing high sensitivity with respect to a halogen lamp having high red spectro-energy. Examples of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine are the compounds represented by the following general formula (VII) having various crystal forms such as α-type, β-type, γ-type, δ-type, ε-type and the like, (wherein X is halogen atom, w is 0 or an integer not less than 1,) preferably the α-type oxotitanylphthalocyanine, wherein X is bromine atom or chlorine atom, w is 0, and Blagg scattering angle (2ϑ±0.2°) in an X-ray diffraction spectrum shows strong diffraction peaks at 6.9°, 9.6°, 15.6°, 17.6°, 21.9°, 23.6°, 24.7° and 28.0° and strongest diffraction peak at 6.9°. When the electrophotosensitive material contains the aforementioned oxotitanylphthalocyanine and perylene compounds to 100 parts by weight of perylene compounds, 0.62 to 1.88 parts by weight of aforementioned oxotitanylphthalocyanine is added to obtain an electrophotosensitive material having high sensitivity in combination with halogen lamp having high red spectro-energy. However, if the electrophotosensitive material contained oxotitanylphthalocyanine less than 0.62 part by weight to 100 parts by weight of perylene compound, the spectro-sensitivity is not spread to long wave-length side. If it contains oxotitanylphthalocyanine more than 1.88 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of perylene compound, the spectro-sensitivity becomes too high to reduce the copying performance of red color original. A preferable metal free phthalocyanine is a X-type metal-free phthalocyanine having a strong diffraction peak in Blagg scattering angles (2ϑ± 0.2°) of 7.5°, 9.1°, 16.7°, 17.3° and 22.3° in an X-ray diffraction spectrum. When the electrophotosensitive material contains aforementioned X-type metal-free phthalocyanine and perylene compound, to 100 parts by weight of perylene compounds, 1.25 to 3.57 parts by weight of the aforementioned X-type metal-free phthalocyanine is added to obtain the electrophotosensitive material having high sensitivity with respect to a halogen lamp having high red spectro-energy. However, if the electrophotosensitive material containes X-type metal-free phthalocyanine in the range of less than 1.25 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of perylene compound, the spectro-sensitivity is not spread to long wave-length side. Conversely, if X-type metal-free phthalocyanine in contained in more than 3.75 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of perylene compound, the spectro-sensitivity becomes too high to reduce the copying performance of red color original. Examples of the binding resin include styrene polymers, acryl polymers, styrene-acryl copolymers, olefin polymers such as polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, chlorinated polyethylene, polypropylene, ionomer and the like; polyvinyl chloride, vinylchloride-vinylacetate copolymer, polyester, alkyd resin, polyamide, polyurethane, epoxy resin, polycarbonate, polyallylate, polysulfone, diallylphthalate resin, silicone resin, ketone resin, polyvinyl-butyral resin, polyether resin, phenol resin, photosetting resin such as epoxy-acrylate and other polymers. Poly(4,4′-cyclohexylidenediphenyl) carbonate is preferably employed because of characteristics wherein providing wide selectivity for the solvent capable of dissolving the binding resin, enhancing sensitivity, resistance to abrasion and reproductivity of the photosensitive material. The poly(4,4′-cyclohexylidenediphenyl)carbonate allows tetrahydrofurane, methylethylketon and the like to be used as the solvent thereof. This is recommendable from safety, health and handling points of view. Bisphenol-A-type polycarbonate is quite different for which only chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane, monochlorobenzene and the like, can be used. For the poly(4,4′-cyclohexylidenediphenyl)carbonate, it is preferably to have a molecular weight of 15,000 to 25,000 and a glass transition point of 58°C. When the photosensitive layer of the single layer type is made with the above mentioned diamine derivative, charge generating material and binding resin, the mixing ratio of these materials is not limited and decided in accordance with the desired characteristics of the electrophotosensitive material. The preferably mixing ratios of these materials are, 2 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 3 to 15 parts by weight, of the charge generating-material, 40 to 200 parts by weight, more preferably 50 to 100 parts by weight, of the diamine derivatives to 100 parts by weight of the binding resin. When the mixing ratios of the charge-generating material and the diamine derivatives are less than above mentioned ratios, the electrophotosensitive material does not have enough sensitivity and high residual potential. On the other hand, when the mixing ratios of the charge-generating material and the diamine derivatives are more than above mentioned ratios, the electrophotosensitive material is not sufficiently resistant to abrasion. An antioxidant is capable of well resisting degradation of the electro-transferring material wherein having a chemical structure affected easily from oxidizing. Examples of the antioxidant include, phenol antioxidants such as, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, triethyleneglycol-bis[3-(3-tert-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyonate], 1,6-hexanediol-bis[3,-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyonate], pentaerythrityl-tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyonate], 2,2-thio-diethylene-bis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyonate], 2,2-thiobis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol), N,N'-hexamethylene-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-hydrocyanoamido) and 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)benzene, preferably 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol.
