PURPOSE:To polish the surface of a photosensitive body of a-Si to such a degree that the printing resistance is not reduced and to form a latent image on the sound and fresh surface by adding spherical silicon carbide of a specified particle size to a developer for converting an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photosensitive body into a visible image. CONSTITUTION:A developer contg. spherical silicon carbide of 1-3mum average particle size added by 0.1-5wt% of the amount of the developing component is used as a developer for converting an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of a photosensitive body of a-Si into a visible image. When the developer is used, the surface of the photosensitive body is polished during development or cleaning to such a degree that the life is not shortened, and a latent image can be formed on the sound and fresh surface. The electrophotographic characteristics are not deteriorated, and a stable copied image can be obtd. without causing running or blurring and bleeding. |
