Abstract

The present invention provides an electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a photosensitive layer that contains at least a charge generating agent, a hole transport agent and a prede mulas (A) and (B). The electrophotographic photoreceptor prevents image defect termined additive. The hole transport agent satisfies the following for from occurring and can meet the demand for higher speed image forming apparatuses, by reducing the adhesion of paper dust and preventing the occurrence of cracks. ⁢ μ M < 1.2 × 10 - 8 ( A ) ⁢ μ > 5.0 × 10 - 6 ⁢ ⁢ μ ⁢ : ⁢ ⁢ Hole ⁢ ⁢ mobility ⁢ ⁢ ( cm 2 · V - 1 · second - 1 ) ⁢ ⁢ of ⁢ ⁢ hole ⁢ ⁢ transport ⁢ ⁢ agent ⁢ ⁢ in ⁢ ⁢ the ⁢ ⁢ electric ⁢ ⁢ field ⁢ ⁢ intensity ⁢ ⁢ of ⁢ ⁢ 3 × 10 5 ⁢ ( V / cm ) ⁢ ⁢ M ⁢ : ⁢ ⁢ Molecular ⁢ ⁢ weight ⁢ ⁢ of ⁢ ⁢ hole ⁢ ⁢ transport ⁢ ⁢ agent ( B )

Claims (4)

1. An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising an electroconductive substrate, and a photosensitive layer consisting of a single photosensitive layer on the electroconductive substrate,
