Abstract
A photoreceptor including an electroconductive substrate; and a charge blocking layer; a moiré preventing layer; and a photosensitive layer, which are overlaid overlying the substrate in this order, wherein the photosensitive layer includes a titanyl phthalocyanine crystal which has an average primary particle diameter not greater than 0.25 μm, and has an X-ray diffraction spectrum such that a maximum peak is observed at a Bragg (2θ) angle of 27.2°±0.2°; a peak is observed at Bragg (2θ) angle of 9.4°±0.2°, 9.6±0.2° and 24.0±0.2°; a lowest angle peak is observed at an angle of 7.3°±0.2°; no peak is observed between the lowest angle peak and the 9.4° peak; and no peak is observed at a Bragg (2θ) angle of 26.3°±0.2°, when a Cu—Kα X-ray having a wavelength of 0.1542 nm (1.542 Å) is used.
