  • Patent number: 6329035
    Abstract: An optical data storage medium includes a substrate, an optical data storage layer overlaid on the substrate and a reversible image recording layer overlaid on the optical data storage layer, in which information is recorded in the reversible image recording layer so as to be visible. The reversible image recording layer, which includes a matrix resin and a low-molecular-weight organic substance dispersed in the matrix resin, may preferably be thermosensitive and change its transparency or color tone in response to heat.

  • Patent number: 5608010
    Abstract: An electrophotographic photoconductor is composed of a substrate and a photoconductive layer formed thereon. The photoconductive layer is composed of a polymer including an acrylic acid ester moiety of formula (I) as repeat unit: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or a methyl group; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 each represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a benzyl group, a phenyl group, a phenoxyl group, chlorine or bromine; n is an integer of 1 to 4; m is 0 to 1; and k is 0 or 1.The polymer and the monomer from which the polymer is prepared are synthesized.

  • Patent number: 5339138
    Abstract: An electrophotographic image formation method using an electrophotographic photoconductor composed of an electroconductive support, and a photoconductive layer including a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer which are successively overlaid on the support, having the steps of charging the surface of the electrophotographic photoconductor uniformly to a predetermined polarity, exposing the charged surface of the photoconductor to light images to form electrostatic latent images thereon, developing the electrostatic latent images to visible toner images by a developer, transferring the toner images to an image-receiving medium, and cleaning the surface of the photoconductor, with the concentration of ozone in the ambient atmosphere around the photoconductor being controlled in the range from 5 to 50 ppm, and the abrasion of the photoconductive layer being controlled to 300 .ANG. or less per 1000 revolutions of the photoconductor.
