この発明は銅フタロシアニン感光体及びその製造方法に

式は、主として、電子プリンターやレーザープリンター
ファクシミリに応用されている。Generally, in electrophotography, the surface of the photosensitive layer of a photoreceptor is charged and exposed to form an electrostatic latent image, which is developed with a developer to make it visible, and the visible image is directly transferred onto the photoreceptor. A method is used in which a copy image is obtained by fixing the image, or a visible image on a photoreceptor is transferred onto a transfer paper such as paper, and the transferred image is fixed to obtain a copy image. These methods are mainly applied to electronic printers and laser printer facsimiles.

いる。However, amorphous selenium is difficult to manufacture because it requires vapor deposition on a conductive support, and the vapor-deposited film is not flexible and is highly toxic, so it must be handled with care.
It has the disadvantage of being expensive. On the other hand, the sensitivity of cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide is significantly affected by the mixing ratio with the binder that binds them onto the substrate, so it is necessary to reduce the ratio of the binder in order to obtain practical sensitivity. I have no choice but to
As a result, mechanical strength such as flexibility, smoothness, hardness, and abrasion resistance is low, and in addition, its properties deteriorate due to ozone generated due to corona charging, and it is toxic and pollutes the environment. There were also hygiene problems, such as the possibility of the occurrence of In order to solve these shortcomings and problems,
In recent years, organic photoreceptors with excellent processability and no hygienic problems such as toxicity or environmental pollution have been rapidly developed and become popular.

の負電荷を中和し、静電潜像を形成することができる。In terms of structure, organic photoreceptors are generally classified into single-layer types and multi-layer types. The single-layer type is formed by coating a conductive substrate with a photosensitive layer consisting of a charge-generating material, a charge-transmitting material, and a binder. In the multi-layer type, a charge-generating substance is coated on a conductive substrate by vapor deposition or coating, and then a suspension consisting of a charge-transmitting substance and a binder is further applied on the formed charge-generating layer. The coating is dried. Once such a photoreceptor is exposed to light, charge pairs are generated from the charge-generating material, and due to the action of the electric field, electrons are released via the conductive substrate, while electron holes pass through the charge-transfer material and are exposed to light. It can be transmitted to the body surface to neutralize its negative charge and form an electrostatic latent image.

としてもっとも汎用されているのが現状である。The charge generating materials used in organophotoreceptors are typically photoconductive organic pigments. For example, bisazo pigments,
Examples include anthrahydroquinone pigments, thioindigo pigments, and phthalocyanine pigments. Among them, especially copper phthalocyanine, which belongs to phthalocyanine pigments,
It is currently the most widely used blue organic pigment because it has excellent coloring power, light resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance, has no toxicity problems, and is low in cost.

There are eight types. Among them, three types, α, β- and ε-, are mass-produced and widely used. In particular, ε-type copper phthalocyanine exhibits high absorption of light with a long wavelength (approximately 780 nm) such as that produced by semiconductor lasers, and is thought to be applicable to laser printers and facsimile machines that are developed using electrophotography. Attention has been paid. However, the conventional ε-type copper phthalocyanine lacks sensitivity as a charge-generating substance, and the required light energy from exposure until the surface potential attenuates by half is too high, and when applied to photoreceptors, The potential difference of the latent image becomes insufficient, making it difficult to form a clear copy image.

を変動させる欠点がある。There is a method of increasing the sensitivity by coating the surface of ε-type copper phthalocyanine with a dye sensitizer (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55161.249). However, this method only works in the infrared wavelength range (780 nm).
It has the disadvantage that the absorption wavelength is varied so that the sensitivity disappears in the vicinity of (around m).

The purpose is to become a body.

、静電荷を十分に吸収することができなくなる。Methods for iodine treatment include a method of treatment with saturated iodine gas in a closed container and a method of treatment using a vacuum evaporation apparatus. The treatment conditions are such that the ratio of iodine placement to amount of charge generating material in the treated charge generating material is 0.01 to 1.
It suffices if it is 0. For example, 20℃~9
What is necessary is just to process at the temperature of 0 degreeC for 1 to 120 minutes. If the ratio is less than 0.01, there will be no improvement in sensitivity, but if it is more than 1.0, the dark decay characteristic will be too large and static charges cannot be absorbed sufficiently.
