Abstract
Abstract An electrophotographic photoreceptor is disclosed, comprising a conductive support having provided thereon a photosensitive layer containing a bisazo compound represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein X represents a halogen atom or a nitro group, and A represents a substituted or unsubstituted divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group or a substituted unsubstituted divalent nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group. The photoreceptor exhibits excellent sensitivity and durability.

An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive support having provided thereon a photosensitive layer containing a bisazo compound represented by the formula (I) ##STR34## wherein X represents a halogen atom or a nitro group, and A represents a substituted or unsubstituted divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group or a substituted or unsubstituted divalent nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive support having provided thereon a photosensitive layer containing a bisazo compound represented by the formula (I) ##STR34## wherein X represents a halogen atom or a nitro group, and A represents a substituted or unsubstituted divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group or a substituted or unsubstituted divalent nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
105 words
An electrophotographic photoreceptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein X represents a chlorine atom and A represents a substituted or unsubstituted o-phenylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted o-naphthylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted perinaphthylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted 2,3-pyridine-diyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted 3,4-pyridine-diyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted 4,5-pyridine-diyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted 9,10-phenanthrylene group, wherein the substituent or substituents for A is or are selected from an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a carboxyl groups, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, and a halogen atom.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
An electrophotographic photoreceptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bisazo compound is present in an amount of from about 10 to 90% by weight of the total weight of the layer in which the bisazo compound is added.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
