Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the flexibility and sensitivity of a photosensitive body and the adhesiveness thereof to a base by imparting orientational property to an org. carrier on which a photosensitive material is deposited. CONSTITUTION:An electric charge generating layer 2 and charge transfer layer 3 are successively laminated on the base 1 such as polyester film having a vapor deposited In2O3 layer. The layer 2 is formed by coating a liquid contg. the photoconductive material and the org. carrier thereof (e.g.: the liquid crystal type high polymer expressed by the formula) on the base 1 and the layer 3 is also formed by coating a liquid contg. the org. carrier on the layer 2. At least either of the layers 2, 3 is subjected to solvent removal under impression of, for example, a magnetic field to orient the org. carrier after the coating. Then, the photosensitive body having the excellent flexibility and the sensitivity as well as adhesiveness to the base is obtd.

Under these circumstances, advances in organic synthesis technology have led to advances in approaches to increasing the photosensitivity and stability of organic photoconductive materials, and their practical value has increased dramatically. However, the physical characteristics unique to organic compounds However, it is still not as good as inorganic photoconductors, and is a major obstacle to practical application. For example, polymeric organic photoconductor materials have a large intermolecular cohesive force and are prone to phase separation during crystallization, which impairs light transmittance, impairs adhesion to the support, and makes them hard. It has problems such as being fragile.

For low-molecular organic photoconductor materials, methods such as vapor deposition, dispersion in resin, and dissolution are used to form the photosensitive layer, and in the case of vapor deposition, adhesion to the support is used. However, there are problems with productivity, cost, etc. In the case of dispersion and dissolution, the adhesiveness with the support is determined by the properties of the binder resin, and with currently known resins, the adhesion with the support is , and the surface hardness is insufficient, and even if it is sufficient, it will have accompanying effects that impair the desired electrophotographic sensitivity characteristics, such as a decrease in surface potential and a decrease in photosensitivity. A photoconductor that does this has not yet been obtained.
