Patent ID: 10712679

Abstract:
An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive substrate; an undercoat layer on the conductive substrate, the undercoat layer containing at least one perinone compound selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by general formula (1) and a compound represented by general formula (2) below, metal oxide particles of at least one type selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide particles, iron oxide particles, copper oxide particles, magnesium oxide particles, calcium oxide particles, and silicon dioxide particles, and a binder resin, the undercoat layer having a thickness of 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less; and a photosensitive layer on the undercoat layer. In general formula (1), R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, and R18 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group, an aryloxycarbonylalkyl group, or a halogen atom; R11 and R12 may be bonded to each other to form a ring, so may R12 and R13, and so may R13 and R14; and R15 and R16 may be bonded to each other to form a ring, so may R16 and R17, and so may R17 and R18. In general formula (2), R21, R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, R27, and R28 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group, an aryloxycarbonylalkyl group, or a halogen atom; R21 and R22 may be bonded to each other to form a ring, so may R22 and R23, and so may R22 and R24; and R25 and R26 may be bonded to each other to form a ring, so may R26 and R27, and so may R27 and R28.
