Patent ID: 7754402

Claim:
An electrophotographic photoconductive member comprising a substrate, and a photoconductive layer containing a charge generating material, a hole transferring material and a binder resin, wherein the binder resin has a IV/OV value in which an inorganic value (IV) is divided by an organic value (OV) of 0.36 or more and also, the hole transferring material contains an amine compound represented by the following general formula (1): wherein, in the general formula (1), Ra to Rg each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a hydrocarbon ring structure formed from two adjacent substituents among Ra to Re; X 1 and X 2 each independently represents a substituent represented by the following general formula (2), and each may be the same or different when a plurality of either or both of X 1 and/or X 2 exist; and the number of substituents l and m represent an integer of 0 or a positive integer, which satisfy the following relation: (l+m≧2); wherein, in the general formula (2), Rh and Ri each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; a repeating number n represents an integer of 1 or 2; Rj represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and may be the same or different when plurality of Rj exist; and the number of a substituent o presents an integer of 0 to 5.
