Abstract:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member comprises a support, a barrier layer overlying the support and comprising a high polymer such as nitrocellulose and an unsaponified alkylvinylether-maleic anhydride copolymer, and an organic photoconductive layer overlying the barrier layer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to photosensitive members for electrophotography and more particularly to photosensitive layers prepared from organic photoconductive materials. The present invention provides photosensitive members which have been improved with respect to resistance to electric breakdown, adhesive ability, flexibility, and the like thereof and which are of great practical value. In accordance with the present invention, between a substrate and an organic photoconductive layer is interposed a barrier layer which is comprised mainly of copolymers comprising alkyl vinyl ethers and maleic anhydride or of composites of alkyl vinyl ethers/alkyl half esters of maleic acid copolymers and polyvinyl pyrrolidone or copolymers thereof. The photoconductive layer per se has been improved by incorporating vinylidene chloride/acrylic ester copolymers into the organic photoconductive layer.
Abstract:
A thermal recording is effected by applying a thermal pattern to a recording member having a recording layer composed of at least a polymer complex to produce a reversible latent image capable of being visualized.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive member and process of electrophotography. The member comprising a base and a photoconductive layer formed on the base, the photoconductive layer containing photoconductive substances and nonpolymers as bonding materials. The image forming process comprising the steps of forming an electric latent image on the photoconductive layer, developing this formed latent image with a developer for wet-sticking the developer to the latent image region.
Abstract:
A liquid jet recording method and apparatus for recording information on a recording medium. A laser beam is irradiated onto an opto-mechanical transducer provided at a position, in a liquid flow path having at its distal end a discharge orifice for ejecting liquid in a predetermined direction and a pressure acting zone, at which a pressure acts on the recording liquid filled in that portion of the flow path, where the pressure as generated is effectively transmitted to the recording liquid filled in the pressure acting zone. This enables the liquid to be ejected from the discharge orifice, by which laser beam irradiation mechanical displacement is caused to deform the wall of the pressure acting zone to thereby bring about abrupt pressure change in the liquid filled in the pressure acting zone to eject the liquid from the discharge orifice in the form of droplets which fly toward the surface of a recording medium, on which the droplets adhere to make a necessary recording.
Abstract:
In an electrostatic printing process utilizing a printing master formed by exposing and heat developing a photosensitive element formed from a reducible organic silver salt, image forming capability is enhanced by a preheating of the image-forming member prior to said exposure and heat developing of the exposed image.
