(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, and relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor.
Provided is a novel electrophotographic photoreceptor provided with a photosensitive layer containing a trisazo compound using triamino-benzyldiphenylamine as a diazo component. (Prior art and its problems) In recent years, electrophotography has been used not only in the field of copying machines, but also in fields where photographic technology has traditionally been used, such as printing plates, slides, films, and microfilms. Applications to high-speed printers using lasers or CRTs as light sources are also being considered. Accordingly, the requirements for electrophotographic photoreceptors are becoming more sophisticated and wide-ranging. Until now, photoreceptors used in electrophotography have mainly had photosensitive layers containing inorganic photoconductive substances such as amorphous selenium, cadmium sulfide, and zinc oxide. Although photoreceptors made of these inorganic materials are useful, they also have various drawbacks. In recent years, to compensate for this, electrophotographic photoreceptors using various organic substances as photoconductive substances have been proposed.
It has begun to be put into practical use. Needless to say, the electrophotographic photoreceptor must have a carrier generation function and a carrier export function. Many pigments have been proposed as organic compounds that can be used as carrier generating substances, such as phthalocyanine, polycyclic quinone, indigo, dioxazine, quinacridone, and azo pigments, but only a limited number of them have been put into practical use. It is being In addition, the range of carrier transfer materials that can be selected is limited, so that at present no material that satisfactorily meets the wide range of requirements of electrophotographic processes has yet been obtained. (Means for Solving the Problem) As a result of intensive research to improve organic electrophotographic photoreceptors, the present inventors have developed a trisazo compound using 4,4',4''-triamino-benzyldiphenylamine as a diazo component. The inventors of the present invention discovered that a photosensitive layer containing a trisazo compound having the following general formula ( This is an electrophotographic photoreceptor characterized by being provided with a photosensitive layer containing a compound.

[Table] The above compounds can be synthesized by known methods. First, 4,4',4''-triamino-benzyldiphenylamine is diazotized by a conventional method, and the resulting trisdiazonium salt is coupled with a coupling component to obtain a trisazo compound having a structure represented by the general formula (). One example of synthesis is given below, but other trisazo compounds having the structure represented by the general formula () can also be synthesized according to the synthesis example below. In the following synthesis examples, "part" or "%" indicates weight parts or weight %, respectively. Synthesis example (for exemplified compound 1) 13.2 parts of 4,4',4''-triamino-benzyldiphenylamine was dispersed in 300 parts of water and 63 parts of 35% concentrated hydrochloric acid, and this liquid was maintained at 0 to 5°C. While stirring well
115 parts of a 10% aqueous sodium nitrite solution was added dropwise over a period of 10 minutes, and after the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes to obtain a diazonium salt solution. After 43.5 parts of naphthol AS was dissolved in 1000 parts of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, the solution was cooled and the above diazonium salt solution was added dropwise over a period of 15 minutes while maintaining the temperature at 0 to 5°C. After the addition was completed, the mixture was further stirred for 2 hours, and the resulting trisazo compound was filtered off and thoroughly washed to obtain 45.1 parts of a crude product of Exemplary Compound 1. This is DMF,
A purified product was obtained by sequentially washing with methanol and then water and drying. The physical structure of the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention may be in any known form. A carrier generating layer containing the above trisazo compound as a carrier generating substance as a main component and a carrier transporting layer containing a carrier transporting substance as a main component may be laminated on a conductive support, or a carrier generating substance may be used as a carrier. A photosensitive layer dispersed in the transport material may also be provided. Since these may be provided through an intermediate layer, the following patterns are possible. () Conductive support / carrier generation layer / carrier transport layer () conductive support / carrier transport layer / carrier transport layer () conductive support / carrier transport layer containing carrier generation substance () conductive support / Intermediate layer/carrier generation layer/
Carrier transport layer () Conductive support / Intermediate layer / Carrier transport layer /
Carrier generation layer () Conductive support/intermediate layer/carrier transport layer containing carrier generation substance The intermediate layer here refers to a barrier layer or an adhesive layer. It is also possible to provide a thin layer on the electrophotographic photoreceptor having the above structure for the purpose of surface protection or the like. Carrier transport materials include those that transport electrons and those that transport holes, and either can be used to form the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention. The electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention can be manufactured in a conventional manner according to techniques known in the manufacture of electrophotographic photoreceptors using photoconductive materials in organic layers. For example, the carrier generation layer forming the two-layer photosensitive layer is prepared by forming the above-mentioned trisazo compound into fine particles in a suitable medium, adding a binder if necessary, and applying the trisazo compound directly on the conductive support or as an intermediate layer. or over a previously formed carrier transport layer and dry. The fine particles in the medium need to be dispersed with a diameter of 5 μm or less, preferably 3 μm, optimally 1 μm. When using a binder, there is no particular limitation, but a hydrophobic, high dielectric, and electronically insulating film-forming polymer compound is preferred. Various thermoplastic or thermosetting synthetic resins can be suitably used. As will be readily understood, it is advantageous for the medium to have the ability to dissolve the binder. The amount of binder used is selected from a range of 0.1 to 5 times the weight of the carrier generating substance. The thickness of the carrier generation layer is in the range of 0.01 to 20 μm. Preferably it is 0.05 to 5 μm. The carrier transport layer can be formed by dispersing or dissolving a carrier transport material in a suitable medium, coating the mixture, and drying the mixture. It is preferred to use a binder, unless the carrier transport material is one that also acts as a binder itself, such as poly N-vinyl carbazole or polyglycidyl carbazole. As the binder, the same type of binder as used for forming the carrier generation layer can be used. The amount of binder used is suitably 0.2 to 5 times the weight of the carrier transport material. The thickness of the carrier transport layer is in the range of 1 to 100 μm, preferably 5 to 50 μm. On the other hand, in order to form a dispersed carrier generation layer-carrier transport layer, a carrier transporting substance is dissolved in the above-mentioned dispersion liquid for forming the carrier generation layer.
It may be applied onto a conductive support. Although the carrier transport material is optional, it is generally preferred to add a binder, except when using one that itself serves as a binder, as described above. When an intermediate layer is provided between the conductive support and the above laminated or dispersed photosensitive layer, the intermediate layer contains a carrier generating substance, a carrier transporting substance,
One type or a mixture of two or more types of binders, additives, etc., and commonly used materials can be used as long as the function as an intermediate layer is not impaired. The film thickness is
The thickness is preferably 10 μm or less, preferably 1 μm or less. Other known techniques can also be applied to the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention. For example, the photosensitive layer may contain a sensitizer. Suitable sensitizers include Lewis acids and dyes that form charge transfer complexes with organic photoconductive substances. In addition, in order to improve film formability, flexibility, mechanical strength, etc. of the photosensitive layer, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, etc.
Additives such as lubricants, adhesion promoters, and dispersants may be added, and carrier generating substances and carrier transport substances may be added to the extent that they do not impair the characteristics of the electrophotographic photoreceptor aimed at in the present invention. In the present invention, ordinary coating methods can be used to form the carrier generation layer, carrier transport layer, intermediate layer or surface layer. As is clear from the following examples, the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention has excellent charging characteristics, sensitivity characteristics, and image forming properties, and has good photosensitivity, and even after repeated use, the sensitivity and There is little variation in charging characteristics and little optical fatigue. It also has high weather resistance. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. The word "part" in the text indicates parts by weight. Example 1 1 part of the above exemplary compound (1) and 1 part of polyester resin (Toyobo "Vylon 200") were mixed with tetrahydrofuran.
50 parts and sufficiently dispersed with a ball mill.The dispersion was applied onto an aluminum plate using a wire coater, and dried with hot air at 120℃ for 30 minutes to determine the film thickness.
A carrier generation layer of 0.3 μm was provided. On top of that, apply a solution of 5 parts of P-diethylaminobenzaldehyde-N-phenyl-N-benzylhydrazone and 5 parts of polycarbonate resin (Teijin Kasei "Panlite L-1250") dissolved in 70 parts of 1,2-dichloroethane. Then, it was dried with hot air at 60°C for 3 hours to form a carrier transport layer with a thickness of 14 μm. The photosensitive plate manufactured in this way was heated at 25℃ and RH.
(Relative humidity) After leaving it in an atmosphere of 55% and adjusting the humidity, use an electrostatic paper tester (Kawaguchi Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. "SP-
428'') using a static method to corona charge at a voltage of -6KV, and after keeping it in a dark place for 10 seconds,
The illuminance on the sample surface is adjusted using a tungsten lamp as a light source.
The film was exposed to light at 5.0 lux and its electrophotographic properties were evaluated, and the following results were obtained. Vo (initial charging voltage) = -770 (V) Vd10 (potential retention rate for 10 seconds in the dark) = 90.5
(%) E1/2 (half-attenuation exposure amount) = 2.1 (lux/second) Example 2 The characteristics were measured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that exemplified compound (2) was used, and the results were as follows. It was hot. Vo = -680 (V) Vd 10 = 87.2 (%) E1/2 = 3.3 (lux seconds) Example 3 1.5 parts of exemplified compound (3) and 1 part of polyester resin (Toyobo "Vylon 200") were mixed into 1 , and dispersed in 250 parts of 2-dichloroethane using a ball mill.
The dispersion was applied onto a polyester film deposited with aluminum and dried with hot air at 120° C. for 30 minutes to form a carrier generation layer with a thickness of 0.5 μm. On top of that, 9-ethylcarbazole-3-carbaldehyde-1,1-diphenylhydrazone 10
