On the other hand, as to the organic materials, PVK--TNF has been first practically used, and then a separated function type sensitive member, in which a function of generating an electric charge and a function of transporting the electric charge are put in charge by separate materials, has been proposed. The organic materials have been remarkably developed by this separated function type sensitive member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrophotographic sensitive member for use in a laser line printer.A laser line printer using a laser beam as a recording member has been known for a small-sized, light, low power consumption, high-density and high-speed recording method. For example, a semi-conductor laser printer and an electrophotographic sensitive member mainly formed of amorphous silicon used therein are being watched with interest.However, since this laser beam is monochromatic, a laser beam incident upon the inside of a photosensitive layer is very much inclined to be not sufficiently absorbed by the photosensitive layer to reach an electrically conductive substrate and be reflected at the surface of the electrically conductive substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in an electrophotographic sensitive member having a photoconductive layer formed with amorphous silicon produced by glow discharge decomposition or sputtering. An electrophotographic sensitive member is formed by laminating an amorphous silicon barrier layer and an amorphous photoconductive layer successively on an electrically conductive substrate, the first mentioned layer containing an impurity of Group IIIa of Periodic Table of Elements, or nitrogen and impurity of Group IIIa of same Table, and also containing oxygen within a range of 0.1 to 20.0 atomic % at the point of the layer and in a progressively decreasing pattern throughout the rest thereof. Constructed as such, the photosensitive member has an increased photosensitivity to near-infrared beams, a large charge-holding capability, and low-rate dark attenuation characteristics. In addition, it is less expensive to manufacture.

Abstract: An electron tube cathode has a composite suppression layer structure interposed between the base metal and the electron-emitting material to suppress an interface layer formed through the reaction of the base metal with the electron emissive material. The composite layer structure includes a thin layer of Pt or Re and a layer of oxide of Zr and/or Hf. As a result, the formation of the interface layer is prevented so that the useful life of the electron tube cathode is prolonged.
