METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly apply a photosensitive coating liquid at a fast rate on the surface of a conductive substrate in the process of manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor by dipping a conductive substrate in a photosensitive coating liquid housed in a dipping tank and drawing the substrate up from the coating liquid to apply the photosensitive coating liquid on the surface of the conductive substrate. SOLUTION: In the method for manufacturing the electrophotographic photoreceptor by allowing a conductive substrate 1 to intrude downward into a photosensitive coating liquid 12 housed in a dipping tank 20 to dip to specified depth and then drawing the conductive substrate up from the photosensitive coating liquid to apply the photosensitive coating liquid on the surface of the conductive substrate, the liquid surface area of the photosensitive coating liquid when the conductive substrate is made to intrude into the photosensitive coating liquid is decreased while the liquid surface area of the photosensitive coating liquid when the substrate is drawn up from the liquid is increased.
