An electrophotosensitive material of the present invention is formed by providing a photosensitive layer containing a bis-azo pigment expressed in formula (1): ##STR1## wherein A.sup.1, A.sup.2, R.sup.1 and n are as defined, as a charge generating material, and a diamine compound expressed in formula (2): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 p and q k, l, m and o are as defined, as a charge-trasferring material, on a conductive substrate. As a charge generating material, a perylene pigment, anthanthrone pigment, X-type metal-free phthalocyanine pigment, imidazoleperylene pigment or perylene bis-azo pigment are preferable used together with the bis-azo pigment. Thus, photosensitive material is excellent in sensitivity and durability.

Electrophotosensitive material

The present invention relates to a benzidine derivative represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.6, m and n are as defined in the present specification. The benzidine derivative improves durability and heat resistance of a membrane containing the same while maintaining high hole transferring capability. Therefore, an electrophotosensitive material, which comprises a photosensitive layer containing the benzidine derivative, has high sensitivity and is superior in durability and heat resistance.

Benzidine derivative and electrophotosensitive material using the same

The present invention provides an electrophotosensitive material having an improved sensitivity in comparison with a conventional one, obtained by combining a trinitrofluorenoneimine derivative represented by the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different and indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group which may contain a substituent, an aralkyl group which may contain a substituent, or a halogen atom! as an electron transferring material with a prescribed electric charge generating material or hole transferring material.

The electrophotographic photoconductor of the present invention includes a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer containing perylene pigment as a charge generating material formed on the conductive substrate. The X-ray diffraction peak of the perylene pigment exhibits its peak when the value of 2.theta. is 14.degree.(.+-.0.3.degree.), and the half-width of the peak when the value of 2.theta. is 14.degree. (.+-.0.3.degree.) is 0.5 or more. This electrophotographic photoconductor has excellent qualities of low residual potential and stabilized quality.

Electrophotographic photoconductor and a method for preparing the same

This invention provides an electrophotosensitive material comprising a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer formed thereon, the photosensitive layer includes a perylene compound (I) and an X-type metal-free phtalocyanine as a charge-generating ingredient and a diamine derivative (II) as a charge-transferring ingredient in the binding resin. This electrophotosensitive material is especially superior in sensitivity and reproductivity. Formulas (I) and (II) are defined as follows: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9 l, m, n, o and p have the same meanings as defined in the text of the specification.
