Recently, photoconductors using organic photoconductive materials have been actively developed, taking advantage of their non-polluting properties, film-forming properties, and light weight. Above all, in a so-called laminated organic photoreceptor in which the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer are separated, the sensitivity is greatly improved by forming each layer with an organic substance optimal for each function and combining them. Further, it has many advantages such as setting a spectral sensitivity according to a desired light wavelength for exposure, and is used in electrophotographic devices such as copiers, printers, and faxes. With the advance of computerization, these electrophotographic apparatuses are required to have higher speed and higher resolution.

Most of the laminated organic photoreceptors which have been put into practical use at present have a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer laminated on a conductive substrate in this order. In such a photoreceptor, a charge generation material was dispersed in an organic solvent together with a binder, and a coating liquid in which the binder was dissolved was applied and dried to form a charge generation layer. Subsequently, the charge transfer material was dissolved in the organic solvent together with the binder thereon. It is produced by applying a coating liquid and drying to form a charge transport layer. Basically, with such a layer configuration, basic performance as a photoreceptor for image formation can be exhibited. However, in practice, it is important to obtain a good image without defects, and it is required that good image quality including high resolution is maintained even after repeated use for a long time. For this purpose, it is required that a photosensitive layer having a uniform and defect-free film quality is formed, and that the electrical characteristics of the photoreceptor be excellent, and that the film quality and electrical characteristics are stable without deterioration even after long-term use. It is necessary. However, even when a good image is obtained at the initial stage, if the device is used continuously for a long time, the phenomenon that the resolution is reduced often occurs.

In order to obtain a high resolution, first, it is effective to reduce the number of carriers in the photosensitive layer in the dark.
In the case of a photosensitive layer in which the number of carriers is large even in a dark state, the carrier bundle is scattered and the resolution of an image is reduced. In order to reduce the number of unnecessary carriers in the photosensitive layer in the dark state, it is effective to add a proper amount of a quin alkaloid such as cinchonidine. This is due to the effect of the lone electron pair of the nitrogen atom such as the quinuclidine nucleus in the kina alkaloid molecule capturing excess carriers (holes). This effect can be obtained by adding it to the charge generation layer or to the charge transport layer.

Second, it is effective to reduce the thickness of the photosensitive layer, particularly the thickness of the charge transport layer. If the film thickness is large, the blur of the electrostatic latent image cannot be ignored because the carrier bundle diffuses in all directions when the photogenerated carrier bundle travels in the photosensitive layer, and the resolution of the obtained printed image is reduced. . Practically, 22 μm or less is good. The effects of the present invention can be obtained in the same manner regardless of whether the photoreceptor is of the stacked type shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 or of the single-layer type shown in FIG.
