ン蒸着膜自体が熱や機械的衝撃に極めて弱く、環境条件
により極めて結晶化しやすいなどの問題点がある。Conventionally, inorganic photoconductive materials such as selenium, cadmium sulfide, and zinc oxide have been widely used in the photosensitive layer of electrophotographic photoreceptors. Photoreceptors using such inorganic photoconductors have several advantages as well as various disadvantages. Manufacturing costs are high due to difficult conditions and wear and tear of raw materials, and the selenium vapor-deposited film itself is extremely susceptible to heat and mechanical shock, and is extremely susceptible to crystallization depending on environmental conditions.
硫化カドミウムの場合は湿度に弱く絶縁層で被覆した感
光体を除いて公害上の問題を有する。In the case of cadmium sulfide, it is sensitive to humidity and poses a pollution problem except for photoreceptors coated with an insulating layer.

弱い染料で増感しているためコロナ帯電による通電劣化
や光退色などの問題がある。また酸化亜鉛粒子が樹脂分
散系であるため感光層の表面平滑性、硬度、耐摩耗性な
どにも難がある。In the case of zinc oxide, it is sensitized with a dye with low fastness, such as rose bengal, so there are problems such as deterioration due to electrical conduction and photofading due to corona charging. Furthermore, since the zinc oxide particles are a resin dispersion system, there are problems in surface smoothness, hardness, abrasion resistance, etc. of the photosensitive layer.

り近年数多くの提案がなされている。On the other hand, organic photoconductive materials have advantages over inorganic ones, such as having a more flexible photosensitive layer, being easier to manufacture, and being able to obtain photoreceptors with stable electrophotographic properties at a lower cost. Many proposals have been made in recent years.

has been put into practical use due to its high sensitivity and the ability to select a variety of materials depending on the function. Here, the charge generation layer is usually made of polyester, a charge generation material such as an azo pigment, a phthalocyanine pigment, an indigo pigment, or a perylene pigment.
It is formed by dispersing it in a resin binder such as polycarbonate, polyvinyl butyral, or acrylic resin, and coating it on a support.

It is formed by dissolving it in an organic solvent, applying it, and drying it.

由度が広がる。また、複写機内で無端ベルトの一部が平
面を成す構成とすれば、フラッシュ露光の採用により高
速複写が可能となる。When the base of the OPC is a flexible film such as a polyethylene terephthalate film, the photoreceptor is shaped like an endless belt, which increases the degree of freedom in mechanical design layout. Furthermore, if a portion of the endless belt is configured to form a flat surface within the copying machine, high-speed copying becomes possible by employing flash exposure.

る。However, in an electrophotographic photoreceptor using a flexible film as a substrate, curling occurs at the side edges, making it difficult to obtain uniform imaging over the entire flash-exposed surface. As an improvement, it is known to provide a back coating layer on the back surface of the flexible film substrate to prevent curling.

(2)バックコーティング層の表面平滑性が悪いため、
巻取り時に感光体の表面側の物質が裏面側に転写する、
いわゆるブロッキング現象が発生してしまう。(2) Because the surface smoothness of the back coating layer is poor,
During winding, the material on the front side of the photoreceptor is transferred to the back side.
A so-called blocking phenomenon occurs.

あり、その実用的価値が極めて高いものである。Table 1 [Effects] The electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention has at least a conductive layer and a single layer or a laminated photoconductive layer on a flexible film support, and further includes a back coating on the back surface of the support. In a flexible electrophotographic photoreceptor having a layer, the back coating layer contains silicone oil, so that the back coating layer has excellent transportability and surface smoothness. Therefore, since the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention can form a uniform image over the entire flash exposure surface, it has high image quality and excellent productivity, and has extremely high practical value.
