Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a laminated photosensitive material for the electrophotography, which comprises an electroconductive substrate (1), a charge-generating layer (2) composed of a vacuum deposition film of metal-free phthalocyanine formed on the substrate and a charge-transporting layer (3) formed on the charge-generating layer, wherein the metal-free phthalocyanine film is a metal-free phthalocyanine particle layer composed mainly of a-type fine crystals having a crystal particle size of 100 to 2000 A and the vacuum deposition film has a thickness of 500 to 3000 A and a dark electroconductivity lower than 10-'° (Ω-cm) -1 . In this laminated photosensitive material, the initial charge quantity is improved, and the electro-photographic characteristics are stabilized when the photosensitive materials is used repeatedly or continuously.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A laminated photosensitive material for electrophotography, which comprises an electroconductive substrate, a charge-generating layer composed of metal-free phthalocyanine on the substrate and a charge-transporting layer on the charge-generating layer, wherein the charge-generating layer is a metal-free phthalocyanine particle layer composed mainly of α-type fine crystals having a crystal particle size of 100 to 2000 Å and has a thickness of 500 to 3000 Å and a dark electroconductivity lower than 10 -10 (Ω-cm) -1 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 75 words
A laminated photosensitive material for electrophotography, which comprises an electroconductive substrate, a charge-generating layer composed of metal-free phthalocyanine on the substrate and a charge-transporting layer on the charge-generating layer, wherein the charge-generating layer is a metal-free phthalocyanine particle layer composed mainly of α-type fine crystals having a crystal particle size of 100 to 2000 Å and has a thickness of 500 to 3000 Å and a dark electroconductivity lower than 10 -10 (Ω-cm) -1 .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
A photosensitive material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the a-form crystals of metal-free phthalocyanine have a particle size of 200 to 1000 Å.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
