  • Patent number: 5252418
    Abstract: An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a photoconductive layer comprising a photoconductor, a support for the photoconductive layer and a surface layer formed on the photoconductive layer and comprising a curable resin film and an inorganic insulator pieces having a size larger than the film thickness of the curable resin film. In order to prevent the image blurring of an a-Si:H photoreceptor, on the outermost surface of the photoreceptor was formed a surface layer having a structure in which inorganic insulator pieces have protruded from the curable resin film. Since the curable resin is of high resistance and shows no quality change by corona irradiation, and besides the protruding inorganic insulator pieces prevent the abrasion of the resin, the surface layer having a long life and excellent humidity resistance, durability for corona irradiation and abrasion resistance can be realized.

  • Patent number: 5204202
    Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive element, e.g. for a photocopier or laser printer, comprises a substrate and a plurality of layers on the substrate including a photoconductive layer of a-Si:H and a protective and lubricating layer which is outermost from said substrate. To provide wear resistance and long life-time of the protective and lubricating layer, this layer comprises a microporous solid material having a pore structure which extends substantially over the whole thickness of the material and a hydrophobic lubricant carried by said solid material. The lubricant includes a liquid film and often times a non-particulate solid film, and provides at least part of the outer surface of the element and is present also in the pores of said microporous solid material.

  • Patent number: 4990418
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrophotographic photoreceptor in which an organic lubricant is provided on the surface of an organic photoconductive layer or on a protective layer formed on the organic photoconductive layer. Elements of the organic lubricant are partly exposed from the surface of the organic photoconductive layer or the protective layer while the remainder portions of the elements are embedded or fixed by chemical reaction in the surface region of the photoconductive layer or the protective layer so that the exposed portions of the elements of the organic lubricant provides a lubricating surface layer. The lubricating surface layer supresses wear of the photoreceptor thereby enabling the photosensitive layer to withstand a long repeated use without impairing electrophotographic characteristics.
