Abstract
An amine compound represented by the following general formula (1) is incorporated as a charge-transporting substance into a charge-transporting layer of an electrophotographic photoreceptor.
Claims10
An amine compound represented by the following general formula (1).
- in the formula (1), Ar1, Ar2, and Ar3 each represent an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocycle group which may have a substituent, an aralkyl group which may have a substituent or a thienyl methyl group which may have a substituent;
- and Ar4 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which way have a substituent, a heterocycle group which may have a substituent or an aralkyl group which may have a substituent. Ar3 and Ar4 may also form a ring structure together with a carbon atom bonded thereto. R1 and R2 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocycle group which may have a substituent or an aralkyl group which may have a substituent. n represents an integer of 1 or 2, and in a case where n is 2, two R1s may be identical or different and two R may be identical or different. R3 represents an alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a fluoroalkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a perfluoroalkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a dialkyl amino group of 2 to 8 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a halogen atom or a hydrogen atom. m represents an integer of 1 to 4, and in a case where m is 2 or more, plural R3s may be identical or different.
The electrophotographic photoreceptor of calim 7, wherein the charge-transporting layer further contains a binder resin, and a ratio A/B between weight A of the amine compound represented by the general formula (1) and weight B of the binder resin in the charge-transporting layer is 10/30 or more and 10/12 or less.
