Patent ID: 8877411

Claim:
An electrophotographic photoconductor comprising: an electrically conductive base; and a photosensitive layer disposed on the electrically conductive base, wherein the photosensitive layer has a structure 1) in which a charge-generation layer including at least a charge-generating material and a charge-transport layer including at least a charge-transporting material and a binder resin are stacked in that order, or a structure 2) in which at least the charge-generating material, the charge-transporting material, and the binder resin are included in the same layer; and wherein the binder resin is a terpolymer polycarbonate resin represented by general formula (I) shown below: wherein, in general formula (I), k+m+n=1 and 0.4≦k+m≦0.8; W 1 represents —O— or —CO—; W 2 represents a single bond; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R 2 to R 8 and R a each independently represents a hydrogen atom; K represents 0; and X represents a cycloalkylidene group.
