Electrophotographic photoreceptor with bromine or chlorine containing polycarbonate

摘要

An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive support having thereon a photosensitive layer is disclosed, wherein a charge transport layer constituting said photosensitive layer or a protective layer formed on said photosensitive layer contains a charge transporting agent, said charge transporting agent being dissolved in a solid state or dispersed in a polycarbonate resin containing a monomer unit represented by formula (I): <IMAGE> (I) wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, a cyano group, or a phenyl group; R2 represents a methyl group, a cyano group, or a phenyl group; or R1 and R2 are connected to each other to form a 5- or 6-membered saturated ring; X represents a chlorine atom or a bromine atom; n represents an integer; and m represents 0 or an integer. The photoreceptor exhibits high sensitivity with low residual potential.
