Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve resistance to moisture and printing by treating the surface of a photosensitive layer consisting of an amorphous photoconductive material with a photosensitive layer stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of an acid, organohalogen silane, higher fatty acid salt and higher amine. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a photosensitive layer formed by using an amorphous photoconductive layer is treated with a photosensitive layer stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of an acid, organohalogen silane, higher fatty acid salt and higher amine. An OH group which is a hydrophilic group is bonded on the surface of the photosensitive layer of the amorphous photoconductive layer, for example, a-Si, and since said group is a cause for deterioration in the resistance of the photosensitive body to moisture and printing, the group is substd. with a hydrophobic group and a film of an oxide layer or the like having moderate resistance is formed, by which the photosensitive layer is stabilized. The photosensitive layer consisting of the photoconductive material such as a-Si is thus prevented from changing in its resistance on account of moisture or repetition of electrostatic charging and discharging and the resistance to moisture and printing of said body is improved.

PRIOR ART In recent years, photoreceptors have been developed in which a substrate is made of a film made of amorphous silicon or other solid material as a photosensitive layer.This type of photoreceptor has a problem in that it is difficult to put it to practical use because the electrical resistance of its photosensitive layer is small and it is greatly affected by humidity or repeated use.In other words, when this type of photoreceptor is installed in an electrophotographic copying machine, When the humidity is high, surrounding water molecules are adsorbed to the surface of the photoreceptor, reducing the resistance of the photoreceptor layer.
When an electrostatic latent image is carried during charging and exposure 1-1, the charge flows to the non-image area before it is developed, which appears as image blur on the copy, and also causes repeated nagging discharge. As a result, a high-resistance film is formed on the surface of the photosensitive layer, and during repeated use, charges accumulate within the photosensitive layer, causing image blurring on copies due to the movement of the charges. was there.
