Layered electrophotographic photoconductors using chloroindium chlorophthalocyanine have been investigated. An evaporated film of chloroindium chlorophthalocyanine has a broad and strong light absorption band in the visible to near-infrared region and its crystal structure is very stable. The photoconductor using chloroindium chlorophthalocyanine as a carrier generation layer and polyvinylcarbazole as a carrier transport layer is highly sensitive in a wide spectral region (500–900 nm) without any special treatment during its preparation. The typical value of sensitivity is 2.5 cm2/μJ at 800–900 nm, so that this photoconductor is most suitable for a laser printer equipped with a AlGaAs laser diode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
