Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A photosensitive composition for electrophotography which consists essentially of (A) a phthalocyanine photoconductor, (B) 4-nitrophthalic anhydride as a sensitizer, and (C) an electrically insulating, electrophotographically inactive resin binder having a volume resistivity of at least 1×10 14 Ω-cm, the sensitizer (B) being present in an amount of 1 to 200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photoconductor (A), and the photoconductor (A) and the binder (C) being present at a weight ratio of from 1/20 to 1/1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A photosensitive composition for electrophotography which consists essentially of (A) a phthalocyanine photoconductor, (B) 4-nitrophthalic anhydride as a sensitizer, and (C) an electrically insulating, electrophotographically inactive resin binder having a volume resistivity of at least 1×10 14 Ω-cm, the sensitizer (B) being present in an amount of 1 to 200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photoconductor (A), and the photoconductor (A) and the binder (C) being present at a weight ratio of from 1/20 to 1/1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein the sensitizer (B) is present in an amount of 10 to 150 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the photoconductor (A), and the photoconductor (A) and the binder (C) are present at a weight ratio of from 1/10 to 1/2..
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition as set forth in claim 1 wherein the phthalocyanine photoconductor is a metal-free phthalocyanine or its nucleus-substituted derivative.
