Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un photorécepteur électrographique (1) qui est pourvu d'une base électroconductrice (2) et d'une couche photosensible (3). La couche photosensible est pourvue d'une couche de génération de charge (3a) et d'une couche de transport de charge (3b). La couche de génération de charge contient un agent de génération de charge. La couche de transport de charge contient un agent de transport de trous, une résine liante et un pigment de type phtalocyanine. La résine liante contient une résine polyarylate. La résine polyarylate est représentée par la formule générale (1). La quantité du pigment de type phthalocyanine contenue est de 0,01 à 1,00 parties en masse, par rapport à 100 parties en masse de la résine liante. Dans la formule générale (1), kt représente 2 ou 3. X représente un groupe divalent représenté par la formule chimique (2A), la formule chimique (2B), la formule chimique (2C), ou la formule chimique (2D).
