5, uncoated width
Laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention is characterised in that; As shown in Figure 1; At least one end at matrix 12; When the uncoated width that the uncoated width that the uncoated width in middle layer 25 is made as d1 (mm), charge generating layer 24 is made as d2 (mm), charge transport layer 22 was made as d3 (mm), d1~d3 satisfied following relational expression (1) and (2).
0≤d1-d2<5(mm) (1)
0≤d3-d2<10(mm) (2)
Its reason is, satisfies relational expression (1) through d1 and d2, and the charge generating layer 24 that the end in middle layer 25 can be laminated on it covers, and consequently can suppress middle layer 25 effectively from matrix 12 sur-face peelings.
In addition, satisfy relational expression (2), can prevent that the end in charge generating layer 24 and middle layer 25 is laminated on charge transport layer 22 coverings on it, consequently can suppress charge transport layer 22 effectively and peel off from charge generating layer 24 through d2 and d3.
Thereby, according to the present invention, satisfy relational expression (1) and (2) through d1~d3, can suppress peeling off of matrix and each interlayer effectively.
That is, if because the value of d1-d2 is the value of not enough 0mm, then the end in middle layer is not covered by charge generating layer, thereby parts such as the end in middle layer and cleaning balde directly contact the situation that when printing lastingly, exists the middle layer to peel off from matrix surface easily.
For this point; Can infer: if the value of d1-d2 is the above value of 0mm; Then the end in middle layer is covered by charge generating layer, thereby compares with the situation that the end in middle layer exposes, and this terminal surfaceness reduces; Become evenly with contacting of parts such as cleaning balde, peel off from matrix surface so can suppress the middle layer effectively.
On the other hand; If because the value of d1-d2 is the above value of 5mm, though then the end in middle layer is covered by charge generating layer, charge generating layer excessively increases the part that matrix surface directly forms; When implementing lasting the printing, exist the situation that is easy to generate electric leakage at photographic layer.
Thereby d1 and d2 more preferably satisfy following relational expression (1 '), further preferably satisfy following relational expression (1 ").
0≤d1-d2<4(mm) (1′)
0≤d1-d2<3(mm) (1″)
In addition, if the value of d3-d2 is the value of not enough 0mm, then the end in charge generating layer and middle layer is covered by charge transport layer, thereby charge transport layer can directly contact with matrix or middle layer.
At this moment and since charge transport layer to the adaptation in matrix or middle layer less than adaptation to charge generating layer, thereby its end portion peel off from lower floor easily, on this basis, exist charge transport layer easily from the situation of charge generating layer sur-face peeling.
On the other hand, if the value of the d3-d2 above value that is 10mm, though then the end in charge generating layer and middle layer would not be covered by charge transport layer; But for lower floor; The part that is not covered by charge transport layer excessively increases, and when implementing lasting the printing, exists photographic layer to be easy to generate the situation of electric leakage.
Thereby d2 and d3 more preferably satisfy following relational expression (2 '), further preferably satisfy following relational expression (2 ").
0≤d3-d2<7(mm) (2′)
0≤d3-d2<5(mm) (2″)
In addition, be that the flange most cases that is assembled into the photosensitive drums both ends is that an end has gear structure as long as satisfy the reason that above-mentioned relation formula (1) and (2) get final product at least one end.
That is, for the side's with gear structure flange, when the operation carried out when image processing system is assembled etc., the operator can easily hold said gear portion and stably operate.With respect to this; Do not have a side's of gear flange, the place that the operator can hold is few, and hand is touched the end of photographic layer easily when operation; The perhaps end of the easy tactility photosphere of the internal part of image processing system, thus be easy to generate peeling off of matrix and each interlayer.
Thereby, do not have the end of flange one side of gear at least in assembling, satisfying the mode laminated photosensitive layer of relational expression (1) and (2), thereby can suppress peeling off of matrix and each interlayer effectively.
In addition, for the value of d1~d3, except that satisfying relational expression (1) and (2), as long as be respectively the just not special restriction of value in the common scope, but preferably being respectively the value in 0.1~10mm scope, more preferably the value in 0.3~5mm scope.
In addition, laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention preferably contacts with matrix in the end of the charge generating layer of at least one end of matrix.
Its reason is, covers the end in middle layer through the end of charge generating layer, and contacts with matrix, can more effectively suppress the middle layer and peel off from matrix surface.
That is, the end through charge generating layer covers the end in middle layer, can reduce the friction with parts such as cleaning balde more effectively.

Can know from table 1; The uncoated width in middle layer is made as d1 (mm); The uncoated width of charge generating layer is made as d2 (mm); When the uncoated width of charge transport layer is made as d3 (mm); The situation (embodiment 1~20) that d1~d3 satisfies above-mentioned relation formula (1) and (2) and the situation that does not satisfy above-mentioned relation formula (1) (comparative example 3~8), the situation (comparative example 1,2,8,9) that does not satisfy above-mentioned relation formula (2), the situation (comparative example 8) that does not satisfy above-mentioned relation formula (1) and (2) are compared, and can suppress peeling off of middle layer and charge transport layer effectively.In addition, the electric leakage on the charge generating layer does not take place with embodiment 15~18 in embodiment 1~13 among the embodiment in carrying out through the test of 30,000 paper.Embodiment 14 is because charge generating layer is more to the part that matrix surface directly forms, so at the duration of test through 20,000~30,000 paper, produced electric leakage in the photographic layer end, but do not reached the degree that influences image.Embodiment 19 and embodiment 20 are because charge generating layer is not more by the part that charge transport layer covers, so at the duration of test through 20,000~30,000 paper, produced electric leakage in the photographic layer end, but do not reached the degree that influences image.
In addition, only satisfy the situation (comparative example 3~7) of above-mentioned relation formula (2), only satisfy the situation (comparative example 1,2,9) of above-mentioned relation formula (1), peeling off of any one deck all taken place.
According to laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention and image processing system; When the uncoated width that is made as d2 (mm), above-mentioned charge transport layer through the uncoated width that the uncoated width in above-mentioned middle layer is made as d1 (mm), above-mentioned charge generating layer at least one end of above-mentioned matrix is made as d3 (mm), above-mentioned d1~d3 satisfies above-mentioned relation formula (1) and (2), can suppress peeling off of middle layer and charge transport layer effectively.Thereby laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention and image processing system wait in expectation the long lifetime of various image processing systems such as duplicating machine, printer, compounding machine are made remarkable contribution.
