Description: The present invention relates to crystalline oxotitanylphthalocyanine having a particular crystal form and an electrophotographic photoreceptor using a composition containing the crystalline oxotitanylphthalocyanine in a charge generating layer. Electrophotographic photoreceptors (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "photoreceptor") currently subjected into practical use are classified into an inorganic photoreceptor using an inorganic photoconductive material excellent in sensitivity and durability, and an organic photoreceptor using an organic photoconductive material. The inorganic photoconductive material include a ZnO (zinc oxide) series material, a CdS (cadmium sulfide) series material, an Se series material, such as a-Se (amorphous selenium) anda-AsSe (amorphousarsenicselenide),and a-Si (amorphous silicon) series material. However, the ZnO series material cannot stably form an image for a long period of time because the charging property of a sensitizing material added is deteriorated due to corona discharge, and photobrowning occurs due to exposure. Furthermore, a photoreceptor equipped with a photosensitive layer formed by dispersing ZnO in a binder resin is of low sensitivity and low durability. The CdS series material cannot provide stable sensitivity under a high-humidity environment, and the Se series material has a strong toxicity, and its crystallization easily proceeds by an external factor, such as temperature and humidity, to lower the charging property or to form white dots on an image. A photoreceptor equipped with a photosensitive layer using the CdS series material and the Se series material is low in heat resistance and storage stability, and since it has a toxicity, a problem is involved in its disposal and environmental pollution may be caused. Although the a-Si series material, which is receiving attention as a pollution free material, has high sensitivity and durability, since the photosensitive layer is formed by a plasma CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method, image defects are formed and its productivity is low due to the production process, so as to increase the production cost. On the other hand, the organic photoconductive material is generally easy in formation of a thin film by coating, and has a low production cost and high mass-productivity. Because the organic material itself includes various kinds, a photosensitive layer having a high storage stability and a low toxicity can be produced by appropriate selection thereof, and it can be easily disposed. Furthermore, the setting of the wavelength range of light absorption can be easily changed, and the electrophotographic characteristics can be easily controlled by the combination of the materials. Therefore, in recent years, improvement in sensitivity and durability has been extensively studied, and the organic materials are frequently employed. A photoreceptor includes a function separated type, in which a photosensitive layer having a laminated structure comprising a charge generating layer containing a charge generating substance and a charge transporting layer containing a charge transporting substance is formed on a conductive support, and a single-layer type, in which a photosensitive layer containing a charge generating substance and a charge transporting substance is formed on a conductive support. In the photoreceptor using the organic material, the function separated type is mainly subjected to studies and developments. As the charge transporting substance, many substances having various molecular structures are developed, and for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-54-59143 discloses a hydrazone series charge transporting substance, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-58-198043 discloses a stilbene and styryl series charge transporting substance, and Japanese Examined Patent Publication JP-B2-58-32373 discloses a triarylamine series charge transfer substance. In addition, a phenothiazine series compound, a triazole series compound, a quinoxaline series compound, an oxadiazole series compound, an oxazole series compound, a pyrazoline series compound, a triphenylmethane series compound, a dihydronicotinamide series compound, an indoline series compound and a semicarbazone series compound are developed. In recent years, an image forming apparatus is widely spread, such as a laser printer, in which a laser light source is used instead of a white light source to realize a high speed printing, a high quality image and a non-impact operation. In particular, various modes using a semiconductor laser, which has been extensively developed in recent years, as a light source are attempted, and a photoreceptor having high sensitivity to a long wavelength region of about 800 nm, which is a wavelength range of laser light, is highly demanded. An organic material that satisfies the demand includes, for example, a squalic acid methine series dye, an indoline series dye, a cyanine series dye, a pyrylium series dye, a polyazo series dye, a phthalocyanine series dye and a naphthoquinone series dye. However, the squalic acid methine series dye, the indoline series dye and the cyanine series dye are poor in stability, particularly characteristics for repeated use, although they can be sensitive to the long wavelength region, and the polyazo series dye is difficult to make sensitive to the long wavelength region, and is poor in productivity. The naphthoquinone series dye is poor in sensitivity. On the other hand, the phthalocyanine dye has a high sensitivity to light of the long wavelength region and excellent in stability in comparison with the other dyes. It is disclosed in Manabu Sawada, Dyes and Chemicals, Vol. 24, No. 6, pp. 122-128, (1979) that phthalocyanine series compounds are different in sensitivity peaks and physical properties depending on the presence and absence and the kind of the central metal, and further the physical properties are changed depending on the crystal form thereof. Furthermore, it is apparent from U.S. Patent 3,357,989, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-49-11136, U.S. Patent 4,214,907 and British Patent 1,268,422 that while the sensitivity peak of a photoreceptor using a metallic phthalocyanine compound changes depending on the central metal, it is in the side of a relatively long wavelength of from 700 to 750 nm. Therefore, it is important to study and develop a photoreceptor with taking the crystal form of phthalocyanine into consideration. Techniques of an electrophotographic photoreceptor, in which a phthalocyanine compound having a particular crystal form is selected, have been reported. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-60-86551 discloses an example using a metal-free phthalocyanine, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-62-133462 discloses an example using phthalocyanine containing aluminum, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-59-49544 discloses an example using phthalocyanine containing titanium as the central metal. Japanese Examined Patent Publication JP-B2-5-55860 discloses a photoreceptor comprising a charge generating layer containing a titanium phthalocyanine compound and a binder resin having accumulated thereon a charge transporting layer containing a hydrozone series compound and a binder resin. Furthermore, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-10-142819 discloses a photoreceptor containing a phthalocyanine series compound as a charge generating substance and a specific styryl compound as a charge transporting substance. As the central metal of a phthalocyanine compound, various metals, such as indium and gallium, have been known. Among the phthalocyanine compounds, oxotitanylphthalocyanine has a high sensitivity, and it has been disclosed that it is classified into many crystal forms depending on a diffraction angle of an X-ray diffraction spectrum in Electrophotography (The Society Journal, Society of Electrophotography of Japan), Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 282-289. As the crystal form of oxotitanylphthalocyanine, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications JP-A-61-217050 and JP-A-61-239248 disclose α type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-62-67094 discloses A type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications JP-A-63-366 and JP-A-63-198067 disclose C type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications JP-A-63-20365, JP-A-2-8256, JP-A-1-17066 and JP-A-7-271073 disclose Y type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-3-54265 discloses M type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-3-54264 discloses M-α type, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-3-128973 discloses I type, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-62-67094 discloses I and II types. The crystal forms of oxotitanylphthalocyanine, the lattice constant of which is known from structural analysis, are C type, Phase I type and Phase II type. Phase II type belongs to a triclinic system, and Phase I type and C type belong to a monoclinic system. When the crystal forms described in the publications are analyzed from these known crystal lattice constants, A type and I type belong to Phase I type, α type and B type belong to Phase II type, and M type belongs to C type. These explanations are found in, for example, Journal of Imaging Science and Technology, Vol. 37, No. 6, p. 607 to 609 (1993). Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-59-49544 specifically discloses a photoreceptor comprising a support having formed thereon a charge generating layer by vapor deposition of oxotitanylphthalocyanine, and further formed thereon a charge transporting layer containing 2,6-dimethoxy-9,10-dihydroxyanthracene as a main component. However, the photoreceptor is of a high residual potential to make restrictions on the usage thereof, and is poor in reproducibility of electric characteristics due to unevenness in film thickness obtained by a vapor deposition method. Furthermore, the photoreceptor is low in mass productivity in an industrial scale. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-61-109056 discloses a photoreceptor comprising a charge generating layer containing an oxotitanylphthalocyanine compound and a binder resin having accumulated thereon a charge transporting layer containing a hydrozone compound and a binder resin. While the photoreceptor disclosed in the publication has a sensitivity in a wavelength region of about 800 nm, it does not satisfy a high quality image and a high speed operation that are demanded in practical use. As described in the foregoing, oxotitanylphthalocyanine is low in sensitivity and is poor in potential stability on repeated use. FR-A-2757861 discloses an electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising an oxotitanylpthalocyanine as defined in present claim 1. In an electrophotographic photoreceptor, it is general that a charge transporting substance that is effective to a particular charge generating substance is not necessarily effective to the other charge generating substance, and a charge generating substance that is effective to a particular charge transporting substance is not necessarily effective to the other charge transporting substance. In other words, it is necessary that a charge generating substance and a charge transporting substance are suitably combined to use in a photoreceptor, and when the combination is not suitable, not only the sensitivity is decreased, but also the residual potential becomes high, and the charge is accumulated by repeated use to adhere a toner on a non-image area. As a result, a clear image cannot be obtained due to fogging in the background. While the combination of a charge generating substance and a charge transporting substance is important, there is no general rule to select the combination, and it is difficult to find out a charge transporting substance that is suitable to a specific charge generating substance. As described in the foregoing, there has been no photoreceptor using a phthalocyanine series compound, which is an organic photoconductive material having a sensitivity in a long wavelength range, particularly oxotitanylphthalocyanine having a high sensitivity, that satisfies practical demands in photosensitivity characteristics, characteristics on repeated use, and stability. The invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor as claimed in claim 1 and which contains a crystalline oxotitanylphthalocyanine having major peaks in an X-ray diffraction spectrum at Bragg angles (2±0.2°) of 7.3°, 9.4°, 9.6°, 11.6°, 13.3°, 17,9°, 24.1° and 27.2°, wherein a peak bundle formed by overlapping the peaks at 9.4° and 9.6° is the largest peak, and the peak at 27.2° is the second largest peak. This charge generating substance is excellent in photosensitivity characteristics, characteristics on repeated use and solvent stability. In the invention it is preferable that the peak intensity of the peak at 27.2° is 80% or less of the peak intensity of the peak bundle formed by overlapping the peaks at 9.4° and 9.6°. In the invention it is preferable that a peak bundle having a trapezoidal shape is exhibited at a Bragg angle (2±0.2°) of from 14.1° to 14.9° in an X-ray diffraction spectrum. In the invention it is preferable that a shoulder peak having a peak intensity about half the peak intensity of the peak bundle formed by overlapping the peaks at 9.4° and 9.6° is exhibited at a Bragg angle (2±0.2°) of 9.0° in an X-ray diffraction spectrum.

Therefore, the invention can provide an optimum photoreceptor for improving the performance of an optical printer and a digital duplicator using a semiconductor laser or an LED array as a light source, which have been extensively developed in recent years.

Now referring to the drawings, preferred embodiments of the invention are described below. The basic structure of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention is represented by formula (XI): In formula (XI), X 1 to X 4 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, or an alkoxy group; and k, l, m and n each represent an integer of from 0 to 4. The synthesis method of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine may be any method such as a known method described in Moser and Thomas, "Phthalocyanine Compounds." For example, dichlorotitanium phthalocyanine can be obtained in a good yield by, for example, a method, in which o-phthalonitrile and titanium tetrachloride are heated and melted, or heated in the presence of an organic solvent, such as α-chloronaphthalene. Oxotitanylphthalocyanine can be obtained by hydrolyzing the dichlorotitanium phthalocyanine with a base or water. It can also be synthesized by heating 1,3-diiminoisoindoline and tetrabutoxytitanium in an organic solvent, such as N-methylpyrrolidone. The resulting oxotitanylphthalocyanine may contain a phthalocyanine derivative, in which a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring is substituted with a chlorine atom, a fluorine atom, a nitro group, a cyano group, or a sulfone group. The oxotitanylphthalocyanine composition is treated with a water-immiscible organic solvent, such as dichloroethane, in the presence of water, to obtain the crystal form of the invention. The method for treating the oxotitanylphthalocyanine with the water-immiscible organic solvent in the presence of water includes a method, in which the oxotitanylphthalocyanine is swollen with water, and treated with the organic solvent, and a method, in which without the swelling treatment, water is added to the organic solvent, and powder of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine is added thereto, but is not limited to these methods. The method for swelling the oxotitanylphthalocyanine with water includes, for example, a method, in which the oxotitanylphthalocyanine is dissolved in sulfuric acid and deposited in water, to make into the form of a wet paste, and a method, in which the oxotitanylphthalocyanine is swollen with water by using a stirring and dispersing apparatus, such as a homomixer, a paint mixer, a ball mill and a sand mill, to make into the form of a wet paste, but is not limited to these methods. Furthermore, the oxotitanylphthalocyanine composition obtained by hydrolysis is stirred for a sufficient period of time or is milling with a mechanical distortion force, in a solution or a solution having a binder resin dissolved therein, so as to obtain the crystal form of the invention. As the apparatus for use in the treatment, a homomixer, a paint mixer, a disperser, an agitator, a ball mill, a sand mill, a paint shaker, a dyno mill, an attritor and an ultrasonic dispersing apparatus may be used, as well as a general mixing apparatus. After the treatment, the composition may be filtrated and washed with methanol, ethanol or water, followed by separating, or a binder resin is added thereto to make a coating composition. A binder resin may be added on the treatment, so as to use as a coating composition. The phthalocyanine composition of the invention is not limited to those produced by the production process described above, and those produced by any production process are encompassed by the invention as far as they exhibit the particular peaks of the invention. The resulting oxotitanylphthalocyanine exhibits excellent characteristics as a charge generating material of an electrophotographic photoreceptor. In the invention, other charge generating materials than the oxotitanylphthalocyanine may be used in combination. Examples of such a charge generating material include α type, β type, Y type or amorphous oxotitanylphthalocyanine, which has a different crystal form from the invention, other phthalocyanines, an azo pigment, an anthraquinone pigment, a perylene pigment, a polycyclic quinone pigment and a squarium pigment. The constitution of the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the invention may be a function separated type photoreceptor 8a shown in Fig. 1, in which a photosensitive layer 4a is accumulated on a conductive support 1, and the photosensitive layer 4a comprises two layers, i.e., a charge generating layer 5 containing a charge generating substance 2 and a charge transporting layer 6 containing a charge transporting substance 3, or a single-layer type photosensitive layer 4b, in which a charge generating substance 2 is dispersed in a charge transporting layer 6 containing a charge transporting substance 3, and it is preferred from the standpoint of production to provide a known interlayer 7 that is generally used between the conductive support 1 and the photosensitive layer 4 as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4. While a dispersion for forming the charge generating layer containing the crystalline oxotitanylphthalocyanine as the main component is liable to be influenced by the thermal capacity of the support on production of the photosensitive layer by a dip coating method due to the latent heat of vaporization of the dispersion solvent, the influence can be relaxed by using the interlayer. As the conductive support used in the invention, a support having conductivity by itself, such as aluminum, an aluminum alloy, copper, zinc, stainless steel, nickel and titanium, can be used, and plastics or paper having vapor deposited thereon aluminum, gold, silver, copper, zinc, palladium, nickel, titanium, indium oxide or tin oxide, plastics or paper containing conductive particles, and plastics containing a conductive polymer can also be used. The form thereof may be a drum form, a sheet form, and a seamless belt form. In the case of the function separated type, the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention is used as the charge generating substance in the charge generating layer, and the other charge generating substances may be contained. The forming method of the charge generating layer may be a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, or a gas phase accumulation method, such as a CVD method. Alternatively, a binder resin and a solvent are added to the oxotitanylphthalocyanine as the charge generating substance depending on necessity, followed by pulverization and dispersion by a dyno mill, a ball mill, a sand grinder, a paint shaker or an ultrasonic dispersing apparatus, to form a coating composition, and the charge generating layer may be formed with a Baker applicator, a per coater, or by casting or spin coating in the case of a sheet, or by a spray method, a vertical ring method or a dip coating method in the case of a drum. As the binder resin, a butyral-modified polymer and a polymer having a hydroxyl group are preferred from the standpoint of stability of the coating composition and stability of the crystal form. A polyester resin, polyvinyl acetate, a polyacrylic ester, a polymethacrylic ester polyester, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetoacetal, polyvinyl propional, polyvinyl butyral, a phenoxy resin, an epoxy resin, an urethane resin, a cellulose ester, a cellulose ether, or a copolymer thereof may also be used singly or as a mixture of two or more of them. As the solvent, a ketone, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and cyclohexanone, is preferred from the standpoint of stability of the coating composition and stability of the crystal form, and these may be used as a mixture with an ester, such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, an ether, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene, toluene and xylene, and a non-protonic polar solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. The film thickness of the charge generating layer thus formed is from 0.05 to 5 µm, and preferably from 0.08 to 1 µm. Examples of the charge transporting substance in the charge transporting layer include a high molecular weight compound, such as polyvinyl carbazole and polysilane, and a low molecular weight compound, such as a hydrazone compound, a pyrazoline compound, an oxadiazole compound, a stilbene compound, a triphenylmethane compound, a triphenylamine compound and an enamine compound, and the charge transporting substances described later are particularly preferred. As the forming method of the charge transporting layer, the charge transporting substance is dissolved in a solvent, and a binder resin is added thereto to prepare a coating composition. The charge transporting layer is formed with a Baker applicator, a per coater, or by casting or spin coating in the case of a sheet, or by a spray method, a vertical ring method or a dip coating method in the case of a drum. Examples of the binder resin include a vinyl polymer and a copolymer thereof, such as polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride, and other polymers, such as polycarbonate, polyester, polyarylate, polyester carbonate, polysulfone, polyvinyl butyral, phenoxy, a cellulose resin, an urethane resin, epoxy and a silicon resin, and these may be used singly or by mixing two or more of them. A copolymer of monomers that is necessary for forming these resins, and a thermosetting resin, a part of which is crosslinked, may also be used. Examples of the solvent include a halogen series solvent, such as dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane, a ketone, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone, an ester, such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene, toluene and xylene, and a non-protonic polar solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. The film thickness of the charge transporting layer thus formed is from 5 to 60 µm, and preferably from 10 to 40 µm. In the charge generating layer or the charge transporting layer, various additives, such as a leveling agent, an antioxidant and a sensitizer, may be added depending on necessity. Examples of the antioxidant include vitamin E, hydroquinone, hindered amine, hindered phenol, paraphenylene diamine, arylalkane, derivatives thereof, an organic sulfur compound and an organic phosphorous compound. Examples of the interlayer provided between the conductive support and the photosensitive layer include an inorganic layer, such as an anodic oxidized film of aluminum, aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxide and titanium oxide, as well as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, cellulose, gelatin, starch, polyurethane, polyimide, polyamide, casein and N-methoxymethylated nylon. Furthermore, particles of titanium oxide, tin oxide or aluminum oxide may be dispersed thereto. In particular, an interlayer comprising titanium oxide having a rutile structure and a polyamide resin as the main components is preferably used. An overcoat layer comprising a known thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer as the main component may be provided as the outermost layer. In general, the charge transporting layer is formed on the charge generating layer, the reverse constitution is possible. As the method for forming the respective layers, a known method can be applied, such as a method, in which the substances to be contained in the layer are dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to form a coating composition, and the resulting coating compositions are coated one after another. In the case where the single-layer type, in which the charge generating material is dispersed in the charge transporting layer, the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention is dispersed in the charge transporting layer having the compositional ratio described in the foregoing. It is necessary at this time that the particle diameter thereof is sufficiently small, preferably 1 µm or less. When the amount of the charge generating substance dispersed in the photosensitive layer is too small, the sensitivity is insufficient, and when it is too large, decrease in charging property and sensitivity is induced to cause problems. Accordingly, the amount of the charge generating substance in the photosensitive layer is from 0.5 to 50% by weight, preferably from 1 to 20% by weight. The thickness of the photosensitive layer is from 5 to 50 µm, preferably from 10 to 40 µm. In this case, in order to improve the film forming property, the flexibility and the mechanical strength of the photosensitive layer, a known plasticizer, an additive for suppressing the residual potential, a dispersing aid for improving the dispersion stability, a leveling agent for improving the coating property, a surface active agent, such as a silicone oil and a fluorine series oil, and other additives may be added. Comparisons between the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention and the known crystalline oxotitanylphthalocyanine will be made below. Among the known crystal forms, Y type and M-α type are relatively good in photosensitivity characteristics. (While there are I type and M type, because they are crystals obtained by treating M-α type as described in Electrophotography (The Society Journal, Society of Electrophotography of Japan), Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 282-289, and their crystal systems and characteristics are similar to those of M type, they are included in M-α type.) However, the novel crystal form of the invention does not agree with them, and exhibits excellent characteristics. That is, while M-α type has major peaks at Bragg angles (2±0.2°) of 7.2°, 14.2°, 24.0° and 27.1°, the crystal form of the invention has major peaks at 7.3°, 9.4°, 9.6°, 11.6°, 13.3°, 17.9°, 24.1° and 27.2°, which is different from M-α type. While Y type has major peaks at 9.6°, 11.7°, 15.0°, 24.1° and 27.1°, the positions of the peaks of which are similar to the invention, the relative intensity of the spectrum is different from the invention. That is, the position exhibiting the maximum peak intensity in Y type is 27.3°, whereas the position of the maximum peak in the invention is the peak bundle formed by overlapping the peaks at 9.4° and 9.6°. (The position of the maximum peak in M-α type is 27.3°.) Furthermore, the crystal form of the invention is largely different from Y type due to the fact that although Y type has two clear peaks at Bragg angles (2±0.2°) near 18° and 24° as shown in Fig. 1 of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-7-271073, only one peak appears at Bragg angles (2±0.2°) 17.9° and 24.1° in the invention. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A-8-209023 discloses oxotitanylphthalocyanine having the maximum peak at Bragg angle 2±0.2°) of 9.6°. The oxotitanylphthalocyanine has a novel crystal form that is not reported in Electrophotography (The Society Journal, Society of Electrophotography of Japan), Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 282-289. While the inventors have tried to produce the oxotitanylphthalocyanine having the novel crystal form, the crystal cannot be synthesized, and therefore comparison of the photosensitivity characteristics cannot be conducted. However, while the positions of the major peaks in Bragg angle disclosed in JP-A-8-209023 are 7.22°, 9.60°, 11.60°, 13.40°, 14.88°, 18.34°, 23.62°, 24.14° and 27.32°, the crystal form of the invention does not have any peak at 18.34°±0.2° and 23.62°±0.2°. Therefore, the crystal form of JP-A-8-209023 is different from the novel crystal form of the invention. Because the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention exhibits a large sensitivity in a long wavelength region, a photoreceptor having a sensitive wavelength in a long wavelength region, particularly, that optimum for a semiconductor laser and an LED, can be obtained. Furthermore, the oxotitanylphthalocyanine has characteristic features in that the crystal form is stable, the crystal stability to solvents and heat is excellent, and the photosensitivity characteristics and characteristics on repeated use as a photoreceptor are also excellent. These characteristics features can be considerable advantages not only in production and properties of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine of the invention, but also in production of the electrophotographic photoreceptor, as well as use thereof.

The measurement conditions were an applied voltage of -6 kV and static of No. 3, and an exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 2 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from -500 V to -250 V and an initial potential V 0 (-V) were measured. The single-layer type electrophotographic photoreceptors were measured by using the same testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper under the conditions where the applied voltage was +6 kV and static was No. 3, and an exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 10 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from +500 V to +250 V and an initial potential V o (+V) were measured. A commercially available digital duplicator (AR5130 produced by Sharp Corp.) was modified, and the respective photoreceptor samples were installed therein. Continuous blank copy was conducted for 30,000 times (non-copy aging), and the charging potential and E 1/2 were measured by using the testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper before and after the continuous blank copy. Furthermore, continuous blank copy was conducted for 30,000 times under a high temperature and high humidity condition (35°C, 85%), and the residual potential was measured before and after the continuous blank copy. The results obtained are shown in Table 29.

Furthermore, the characteristics of the samples of the invention have been confirmed that the increase in residual potential after the durability test (30,000 times) under a high temperature and high humidity condition was sufficiently smaller than the conventional samples of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. The evaluation of solvent stability will be described. Solutions obtained by subjecting the five kinds of oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Examples 1, 3, 4 and 6, and Comparative Example 1 to a dispersion treatment were stored at room temperature or in a refrigerator (5°C), and the change in crystal form was observed. The results obtained are shown in Table 30 below. As shown in Table 30, no change in crystal form was observed in the solutions obtained by subjecting oxotitanylphthalocyanine of Examples 1, 3, 4 and 6 to a dispersion treatment stored at room temperature and in a refrigerator. However, in the conventional sample of Comparative Example 1, in the case of storage at room temperature, it was transformed into an A type crystal having the maximum peak at a Bragg angle of 26.3° after 1 month (Fig. 9), and was completely transformed into A type after 2 months (Fig. 10). In the case of storage in a refrigerator, no change was observed after 1 month (Fig. 9), but change of crystal form into A type was observed after 2 months (Fig. 10). Examples 11 to 18 and Comparative Examples 11 and 12, in which the oxotitanylphthalocyanine and a bisamine compound are used, will be described below. Example 11 On a conductive support 1 comprising a polyester film having aluminum vapor deposited thereon, a coating composition for an interlayer obtained by dissolving titanium oxide and a copolymer nylon (CM8000 produced by Toray Corp.) in a mixed solvent comprising methyl alcohol and dichloroethane was coated and dried to form an interlayer 7 having a film thickness of 1 µm. 1 part by weight of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 1 (charge generating substance 2) and 1 part by weight of polybutyral (binder resin) (Essrec BL-1 produced by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.) were mixed with 70 parts by weight of methyl ethyl ketone, and subjected to a dispersion treatment along with glass beads having a diameter of 2 mm in a paint conditioner apparatus (produced by Redlevel Corp.) to produce a coating composition for a charge generating layer. The coating composition was coated on the interlayer 7, followed by drying, to form a charge generating layer 5 having a film thickness of 0.4 µm. The example compound BA1 (charge transporting substance 3) and polycarbonate (binder resin) (PCZ-200 produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd.) were mixed in a ratio of 1/1, and a coating composition for a charge transporting layer of 15% by weight was produced by using dichloromethane as a solvent. The coating composition was coated on the charge generating layer 5, followed by drying, to form a charge transporting layer 6 having a film thickness of 20 µm. Thus, a function separated type photoreceptor 8b having a photosensitive layer 4a having a laminated structure comprising the interlayer 7, the charge generating layer 5 and the charge transporting layer 6 was obtained. Examples 12 to 15 Function separated type photoreceptors 8b were produced in the same manner as in Example 11 except that the example compounds BA10, BA13, BA24 and BA40 were used as the charge transporting substance 3 instead of the example compound BA1. Example 16 A function separated type photoreceptor 8b was produced in the same manner as in Example 11 except that the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 2 was used as the charge generating substance 2 instead of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 1. Example 17 A function separated type photoreceptor 8b was produced in the same manner as in Example 11 except that the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 3 was used as the charge generating substance 2 instead of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 1. Example 18 An interlayer 7 was formed on a conductive support 1 in the same manner as in Example 11. 1 part by weight of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 1 (charge generating substance 2) and 10 parts by weight of the example compound BA4 (charge transporting substance 3) were mixed with 10 parts by weight of polycarbonate (binder resin) (PCZ-200 produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd.), and dissolved in dichloromethane as a solvent, to prepare a coating composition of 18% by weight, which was then subjected to a dispersion treatment along with glass beads having a diameter of 2 mm in the paint conditioner apparatus. The resulting coating composition was coated on the interlayer 7, followed by drying, to form a photosensitive layer 4b having a film thickness of 20 µm. Thus, a single-layer type photoreceptor 8d having the photosensitive layer 4b containing the charge generating substance 2 and the charge transporting substance 3 was obtained. Comparative Example 11 A function separated type photoreceptor was obtained in the same manner as in Example 11 except that the intermediate crystal of oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained during Production Example 1 was used instead of the oxotitanylphthalocyanine used in Example 11. Comparative Example 12 A function separated type photoreceptor was obtained in the same manner as in Example 11 except that a charge transporting substance represented by formula (XXVI) was used instead of the charge transporting substance used in Example 11. The photoreceptors produced in Examples 11 to 18 and Comparative Examples 11 and 12 were evaluated in the following manner. The function separated type photoreceptors were evaluated for electrophotographic characteristics by using a testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper (EPA-8200 produced by Kawaguchi Electric Works Co., Ltd.). The measurement conditions were an applied voltage of -6 kV and static of No. 3, and a half-value exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 2 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from -500 V to -250 V and an initial potential V 0 (-V) were measured. The single-layer type photoreceptors were measured by using the same testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper. The measurement conditions were an applied voltage of +6 kV and static of No. 3, and a half-value exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 10 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from +500 V to +250 V and an initial potential V 0 (+V) were measured. A commercially available digital duplicator (AR5130 produced by Sharp Corp.) was modified, and the photoreceptors of Examples 11 to 18 and Comparative Examples 11 and 12 were installed therein. A durability test by continuous blank copy in 30,000 times was conducted, and the charging potential and the half-value exposure amount E 1/2 were measured by using the testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper before and after the durability test. Furthermore, a durability test by continuous blank copy in 30,000 times was conducted under a high temperature and high humidity condition (35°C, 85%), and the residual potential Vr was measured before and after the durability test. The results obtained are shown in Table 31.

Examples 19 to 26 and Comparative Examples 13 to 23, in which the oxotitanylphthalocyanine and an N, N' -bisenamine compound are used, will be described below. Example 19 An interlayer 7 was formed on a conductive support 1, and a charge generating layer 5 was further formed thereon in the same manner as in Example 11. 10 parts by weight of N,N'-bisenamine shown by the example compound BE1 (charge transporting substance 3), 8 parts by weight of polycarbonate shown by the example compound V1 in Table 19 (binder resin), 2 parts by weight of polyester shown by formula (X) (binder resin), 0.2 part by weight of α-tocopherol (antioxidant), and 0.0002 part by weight of polydimethylsiloxane (leveling agent) were mixed, and a coating composition of a charge transporting layer of 15% by weight was prepared by using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent. The coating composition was coated on the charge generating layer 5 and dried to form a charge transporting layer 6 having a film thickness of 20 µm. Thus, a function separated type photoreceptor 8b having a photosensitive layer 4a having a laminated structure comprising the interlayer 7, the charge generating layer 5 and the charge transporting layer 6. Example 20 A charge generating layer 5 was formed directly on a conductive support 1 of the Example 11 in the same manner as in Example 11.

The coating composition was coated on the charge generating layer 5 and dried to form a charge transporting layer 6 having a film thickness of 25 µm. Thus, a function separated type photoreceptor 8b having a photosensitive layer 4a having a laminated structure comprising the interlayer 7, the charge generating layer 5 and the charge transporting layer 6 was obtained. Example 23 A function separated type photoreceptor 8b was obtained in the same manner as in Example 22 except that an N,N'-bisenamine-styryl compound shown by the example compound BE27 was used as the charge transporting substance 3 instead of the example compound BE1. Example 24 An interlayer 7 was formed on a conductive support 1 in the same manner as in Example 11. A charge generating layer 5 was formed in the same manner as in Example 11 except that oxotitanylphthalocyanine obtained in Production Example 3 was used. A charge transporting layer 6 was formed in the same manner as in Example 22.

The resulting coating composition was coated on the interlayer 7 and dried to form a photosensitive layer 4b having a film thickness of 25 µm. Thus, a single-layer type photoreceptor 8d comprising the interlayer 7 and the photosensitive layer 4b containing the charge generating substance 2 and the charge transporting substance 3 was obtained.

The electrophotographic photoreceptors produced in the Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 42. The electrophotographic photoreceptors thus produced were evaluated for electrophotographic characteristics by a testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper (EPA-8200 produced by Kawaguchi Electric Works Co., Ltd.). The measurement conditions were an applied voltage of -6 kV and static of No. 3, and an exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 2 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from -500 V to -250 V and an initial potential V 0 (-V) were measured. The single-layer type electrophotographic photoreceptors were measured by using the same testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper under the conditions where the applied voltage was +6 kV and static was No. 3, and an exposure amount E 1/2 (µJ/cm 2 ) of monochrome light of 780 nm (radiation intensity: 10 µW/cm 2 ) isolated with an interference filter required for attenuating from +500 V to +250 V and an initial potential V 0 (+V) were measured. A commercially available digital duplicator (AR5130 produced by Sharp Corp.) was modified, and the photoreceptors were used as a drum part. Continuous blank copy was conducted for 30,000 times (non-copy aging), and the charging potential and E 1/2 were measured by using the testing apparatus for electrostatic recording paper before and after the continuous blank copy. Furthermore, continuous blank copy was conducted for 30,000 times under a high temperature and high humidity condition (35°C, 85%), and the residual potential was measured before and after the continuous blank copy. The degree of decrease in film thickness of the photoreceptor was measured by a wear testing apparatus (produced by Suga Testing Machine Co., Ltd.). The measurement conditions were aluminum oxide #2000 as an abrasion material, a load of 200 g·f, and a number of abrasion of 10,000. The results obtained are shown in Table 43.
