    摘要: An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive substrate, and a lamination type photosensitive layer including a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer or a single layer type photosensitive layer that is a photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive substrate, in which the charge transport layer or the single layer type photosensitive layer is an outermost layer and contains a charge transport material, a polyester resin having a dicarboxylic acid unit (A) represented by Formula (A), and a compound that has a molecular weight of 255 or greater, has a phenol skeleton in which a primary carbon atom or a secondary carbon atom is bonded to one ortho position and a tertiary carbon atom or a quaternary carbon atom is bonded to the other ortho position, and has no linear alkylene structure having 4 or more carbon atoms.




    In Formula (A), ArA1 and ArA2 each independently represent an aromatic ring that may have a substituent, LA represents a single bond or a divalent linking group, and nA1 represents 0, 1, or 2.

    摘要: An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive support; and an undercoat layer and a photosensitive layer stacked on the conductive support, in which the undercoat layer contains crystalline electron transport compound particles. In X-ray diffraction measurement performed on the undercoat layer in a thickness direction, a maximum intensity peak has a half-width of 5° or less, and a maximum value Nmax among orientation indices N expressed by equation (1) below is 1 or more and 3 or less:

    where I1 represents a relative integral intensity of each of peaks in the X-ray diffraction measurement performed on the undercoat layer in the thickness direction, and I2 represents a relative integral intensity of each of peaks in X-ray diffraction measurement performed on the undercoat layer processed into a powder form having a volume-average particle diameter of 5 µm or less.
