ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor excellent in wear resistance and capable of substantially avoiding generation of a ghost even in continuous use in an electrophotographic apparatus, a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus. SOLUTION: The electrophotographic photoreceptor is obtained by stacking a photosensitive layer and an outermost surface layer 5 on a cylindrical support in sequence from the cylindrical support side, wherein the outermost surface layer 5 contains a charge transport material and a hardening resin in such a way that a content ratio of the hardening resin in the outermost surface layer 5 increases in a film thickness direction as getting away from the photosensitive layer side. The process cartridge and the electrophotographic apparatus are equipped with the electrophotographic photoreceptor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
