Image bearing member, image forming method, image forming apparatus, and process cartridge

Abstract

An image bearing member including an electroconductive substrate, and a photosensitive layer provided overlying the electroconductive substrate, the photosensitive layer containing at least one charge transport materials selected from the group consisting of a naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid diimide-isoindol derivative represented by the following chemical structure 1, a naphthalimide-isoindol derivative represented by the following chemical structure 2, and a triphenyl amine-isoindol derivative represented by the following chemical structure 3, where R1 and R2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a substituted or non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a halogen atom, and a nitro group, k represents an integer of 1 to 4, and l represents an integer of from 1 to 5 and R3 represents a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted cycloalkyl group, and a substituted or non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, where R1, R2, and R4 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a substituted or non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a halogen atom, and nitro group, and k represents an integer of 1 to 4, l represents an integer of from 1 to 5, and m represents an integer of 1 to 6, and where R1, R2, R5, and R6 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a substituted or non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a halogen atom, and nitro group, and k represents an integer of 1 to 4, and l, n, and p represent integers of from 1 to 5.
