去、光除電などを行った後、再使用に供される。It is necessary to have the function of receiving light and generating a charge, as well as the function of receiving light and transporting a charge. There is a so-called laminated photoreceptor in which functionally separated layers are laminated, including a layer that contributes to charge generation, a layer that contributes to surface charge retention in the dark, and a layer that contributes to charge transport during light reception. For example, the Carlson method is applied to image formation by electrophotography using these photoreceptors. Image formation in this method involves charging the photoconductor in a dark place by corona discharge, forming electrostatic latent images such as letters and pictures on the document by exposing the surface of the charged photoconductor, and This is done by developing a latent image with toner, transferring the developed toner image to a support such as paper, and fixing it. After the toner image has been transferred, the photoreceptor is subjected to static neutralization, removal of residual toner, photostatic static elimination, etc. Subject to reuse.
