Electrophotographic photoreceptor, image forming apparatus and process cartridge

Abstract

An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a layered-type photosensitive layer in which a charge generating layer containing a charge generating material and a charge transporting layer containing a charge transporting material are stacked, formed on a conductive supporting member made of a conductive material, wherein the electrophotographic photoreceptor has high sensitive characteristics to a semiconductor laser beam having a wavelength ranging from 380 to 500 nm; the charge transporting layer of the layered-type photosensitive layer contains as the charge transporting material, a triarylamine dimer compound represented by the general formula (1): wherein Arand Armay be the same or different, and represent an unsubstituted or substituted arylene group or heterocyclic derivative bivalent group, Arand Armay be the same or different, and represent an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group or heterocyclic group, Rand Rmay be the same or different, and represent an alkyl group, m and n represent an integer of 1 to 4, a and b may be the same of different, and represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, alkoxy group or amino group;and a film thickness of the photosensitive layer is 30 μm or less.
