Patent ID: 8475982

Claim:
An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising: a conductive support; a photosensitive layer comprising a charge generating layer and a charge transporting layer; and a functional layer over said photosensitive layer that serves as a protective layer, the functional layer comprises a curable resin and at least one of: a first compound represented by formula (I); and a second compound derived from the first compound: wherein F represents a hole-transporting, n-valent organic group; R independently represents —CH 2 —R 4 or —(CH 2 ) r —O—R 5 , where R 4 represents a C 1 -C 17 organic group, R 5 represents a C 1 -C 6 hydrocarbon group, and r represents an integer from 1-12; T represents an alkylene group; m indicates 1; and n indicates an integer of from 1 to 4, wherein the functional layer has a cross-linked structure formed by a crosslinking reaction between the curable resin and at least one of the first compound represented by formula (I) and the second compound derived from the first compound.
