An electrophotographic photosensitive material.

摘要

Disclosed is an electrophotographic photosensitive material comprising a photosensitive layer containing a tris-azo pigment represented by the following formula:
wherein the ring A_i and A₂ may have a halogen atom, an alkyl group or alkoxy group as a substituent at the ortho-position to the azo group, Z stands for a benzene ring, naphthalene ring, indole ring, carbazole ring or benzofuran ring fused to the benzene ring B, and R stands for an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, naphthyl or heterocyclic group.

This photosensitive material has a high sensitivity to rays in a broad wavelength region and is excellent in the resistance in the printing operation.
