Abstract
An electrophotographic material is provided herein which comprises a conductive support layer and a photoconductive insulating layer, the latter layer comprising a photoconductive polymeric compound such as poly-N-vinylcarbazole, and a sensitizer having the following general formula ##SPC1##
Wherein
B represents a radical selected from the group consisting of ##SPC2## ##SPC3##
Compounds falling under the latter general formula include such compounds as 2-phenyl-4-[(2'-phenyl-4'-benzopyranylidene) benzyl]-benzopyrylium perchlorate and 2,3-phenyl-4-[(2'-phenyl 4'-benzopyranylidene)benzyl]-6-methylbenzopyrylium perchlorate.
Description
This invention relates to novel light-sensitive layers and more particularly to electrophotographic light-sensitive polymer layers.
Various light-sensitive layers are well known in the electrophotographic art for making copies of documents, drawings, transparencies, etc. These layers contain organic photoconductive compounds, such as poly-N-vinylcarbazole, brominated poly-N-vinylcarbazoles, polyacenaphthylene, etc. These layers are non-conductors of electricity before exposure and become electrical conductors upon exposure.
It is necessary for the electrophotographic art that the photoconductive material has a high photoconductivity in the long wavelength region of the visible spectrum. Such a photoconductive material makes it possible for the electrophotograph art to employ inexpensive and convenient light sources such as incandescent lamps in a reduced exposure time and to reproduce colored pictures. The photoconductive materials mentioned above, however, have usually a low photoconductivity and spectrum characteristics sensitive to the short wavelength region of the exposure light and do not satisfy entirely the above requirement.
It is known that an addition of a so-called sensitizer can improve photoconductivity and spectrum characteristics of the above photoconductive compounds. Conventional sensitizers are dyestuff compounds, such as triarylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, triazine dyes or acridine dyes, but the conventional sensitizers are not entirely satisfactory to improve the photoconductivity and the spectrum characteristics of the available photoconductive compounds.
In addition to the high photoconductivity and spectrum characteristics sensitive to visible light, the electrophotographic art requires a high electric resistance of photoconductive materials in the dark. Conventional sensitizers are apt to increase the dark conductivity whereas they promote the photoconductivity. A high dark conductivity of photoconductive materials is not desirable because it results in a loss of the applied electrostatic charge in the dark.
An object of the invention is to provide electrophotographic materials having a high photoconductivity and spectrum characteristics sensitive to a long wavelength region of the visible spectrum.
Another object of the invention is to provide electrophotographic materials having a high electric resistance in the dark.
These and other objects are accomplished by adding a new sensitizer shown hereinafter to a photoconductive polymeric compound such as poly-N-vinylcarbazole, brominated poly-N-vinylcarbazole or polyacenaphthylene, as a light-sensitive film-forming composition.

The sensitizers having the formula above mentioned are prepared by the following chemical equations A or B: ##SPC7##
In the case of Equation A, 4-[(4'-benzopyranylidene)-methyl]benzopyrylium derivative (III) is obtained by an addition reaction of 4-methoxybenzopyrylium o-nitrobenzene sulfonate (I) with a benzopyrylium salt (II) in an acetic anhydride solution. The benzopyrylium salt has an active methyl or methylene radical.
In the case of Equation B, 2-[(4'-benzopyranylidene)-methyl]benzopyrylium derivative (V) is obtained by an addition reaction of 4-methoxybenzopyrylium o-nitrobenzene sulfonate (I) with a benzopyrylium salt (IV) in an acetic anhydride solution. The benzopyrylium salt has an active methyl radical.
In both cases, methyl 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonate, dimethyl sulfate or methyl iodide can be used instead of methyl o-nitrobenzene sulfonate.

It has been discovered according to the invention the compounds listed in Table 1 are sensitizing agents which can improve the photoconductivity and the spectrum characteristics of photoconductive polymeric compounds such as poly-N-vinylcarbazole, brominated poly-N-vinylcarbazoles, polyacenaphthylene, etc. These polymers, except brominated poly-N-vinylcarbazoles, are prepared in a per se well known method. The brominated poly-N-vinylcarbazole can be prepared by the following method: To the solution of 20 grams of poly-N-vinylcarbazole in 450 milliliters of chlorobenzene, there are added 18.44 grams of N-bromosuccinimide and 0.173 grams of benzoyl peroxide. The mixture is heated at 80°C for 2 hours while being stirred thoroughly and is poured into methanol to obtain a white polymer. The polymer is dissolved in chlorobenzene and again poured into methanol for purification. The pure polymer thus obtained as a precipitate exhibits upon elementary analysis a halogen content of 29.87 weight percent which approximates the value calculated, i.e. 29.44 weight percent of the monobromosubstituted product from poly-N-vinylcarbazole. This indicates that the polymer obtained is a monobromosubstituted product. The degree of bromination varies from 50 mole percent to 200 mole percent according to reaction conditions.
The novel sensitizer comprising at least one compound from the group listed in Table 1 is dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as dichloroethane, methylene chloride, chloroform, or a combination thereof, and is added to the solution of the photoconductive polymer described above. The preferable amount of the sensitizer added is from 0.01 to 3.0 weight parts in connection with 100 weight parts of the photoconductive polymer. Advantageously, the amount thereof is from 0.1 to 2.0 weight parts in connection with 100 weight parts of the photoconductive polymer.
For the preparation of the photoconductive insulating layer, a said solution of the photoconductive polymer and the sensitizer in a suitable solvent is applied to the electroconductive support in per se usual manner, for example, by spraying, by means of bladed coating, by means of whirler coating, etc., and then dried so as to produce a homogeneous photoconductive insulating layer on the electroconductive support. Operable solvents are benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, dioxane, methylene chloride, dichloroethane and combinations thereof. Said solution may be incorporated with suitable plasticizers and/or organic colloids for improving the flexibility and strength of the photoconductive polymer. Operable plasticizers are as follows: chlorinated diphenyl, dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate and octyl phthalate. Operable organic colloids are as follows: natural and synthetic resins, e.g. phenol resin, phenol resin modified with resin, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl cinnamate, polycarbonate resin. Operable materials for electroconductive supports may be made of any materials which satisfy the requirement of the electrophotographic art, e.g. metal plate or glass plate having NESA coating, plate or foil made of electrically conductive resin or coated with evaporated thin metal layer. If paper is to be used as a support for the photoconductive layer, pretreatment of the paper against penetration of the coating solution in advisable. The transparent support can produce a transparent electrophotographic plate, foil or film. After an electrostatic charge has been applied, i.e. after the layer has been charged positively or negatively by means of a corona discharge, the layer becomes light sensitive.
The reproduction of images by the electrophotographic method is carried out as follows: when the photoconductive layer has been charged by means of a corona discharge apparatus, the support with the sensitized layer is exposed to light under a master and is then dusted over in a per se known manner with a resin powder colored with carbon black. The image that now becomes visible can easily be wiped off. It can also be fixed by heating at about 120°C. From positive masters, positive images characterized by good contrast the producted.
This invention is still further illustrated with reference to the following illustrative examples.
1 Gram of polyacenaphthylene and 0.6 gram of, as a plasticiser, chlorinated diphenyl (commercially available as "Kanechlor"), are dissolved in 8 milliliters of chlorobenzene. To the solution are added 0.5 milliliters of dichloroethane containing 0.006 gram of a sensitizer corresponding to compound number listed in Table 1. The solution is applied to an aluminum plate by means of whirler coating and is dried to form a layer of 7μ in thickness. After said aluminum plate provided with the layer is charged negatively by means of corona discharge with a charging device maintained at approximately 6000 volts in the dark, it is placed under a positive master and is exposed to a 100W tungsten lamp at an illumination of 50 luxes, and the said plate is powdered over with a developer in a per se known manner. This developer consists of toner and carrier. The toner consists of low melting point polystyrene, colophony and carbon black. The toner is mixed with a carrier substance such that the toner becomes triboelectrically charged with a charge opposite to that produced on the plate. A positive image is produced and is fixed by slight heating. In Table 2, there are shown the optimum amounts of exposure in lux-second units.
