SELENIUM ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR

摘要

The present invention provides a seleniumn electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a laminate of a conductive base, a carrier transportaion layer consisting of amorphous selenium or an amorphous Se-Te alloy, a carrier generation layer consisting of an amorphous Se-Te alloy containing 20 to 50 wt % of Te, and an overcoat layer composed of two layers consisting of Se-As alloys having different arsenic concentrations and different thickenesses. In one embodiment of the invention, the lower overcoat layer contains 2-10% by weight arsenic while the upper overcoat layer contains 10-30% by weight arsenic. In another embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the upper overcoat layer is greater than that of the lower overcoat layer but not more than 8 mu m.
