Abstract
In a process for producing a chlorogallium phthalocyanine crystal comprising mechanically dry-grinding chlorogallium phthalocyanine and subjected to crystal conversion, the weight ratio of chlorogallium phthalocyanine to the grinding media is set at a range of from 1/5 to 1/000. The resulting chlorogallium phthalocyanine crystal excels in the dispersibility in a binding resin and the stability in the dispersion.
Claims6
A electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a electroconductive substrate having provided thereon a photosensitive layer containing a chlorogallium phthalocyanine crystal, wherein said chlorogallium phthalocyanine crystal has intense diffraction peaks at Bragg angles ( 2.theta..degree..+-.0.2.degree.) of 7.5.degree. C., 16.7.degree. C., 25.6.degree. C. and 28.4.degree. C., a half width at the peak of the Bragg angle of 7.5.degree. C. is not less than 0.35, and a peak intensity ratio of the peak of the Bragg angle of 28.4.degree. C. to that of 7.5.degree. C. is from 0.4 to 0.7.
