Patent ID: 8771818

Claim:
An electrically conducting member for electrophotography comprising an electrically conducting substrate and an electrically conducting layer, wherein; the electrically conducting layer comprises a resin having in the molecule at least one structure selected from the group consisting of structures represented by the following formula (1), formula (2) and formula (3): where, in the formulas (1) to (3), R 1 to R 3 each independently represent an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atom(s); and asterisks *1 to *7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or the position of bonding with the carbon atom in the molecular structure of the resin, provided that at least one of *1 and *2, at least one of *3 and *4 and at least one point selected from *5 to *7 represents the position of bonding with the carbon atom in the molecular structure of the resin; A 1 to A 3 each independently represent any structure selected from the group consisting of structures represented by the following formula (4), formula (5), formula (6) and formula (7): where, in the formulas (4) to (7), Q 1 − to Q 4 − each independently represent an anion; R 4 to R 8 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atom(s) which has been substituted with an oxyalkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), an allyl group, or an alkyl group having 1 to 14 carbon atom(s); X represents a methylene group or an oxygen atom; and n represents 1 or 2.
