PURPOSE:To obtain an electrophotographic sensitive body having excellent filming property, mechanical strength, heat resistance, durability, electrifying characteristic and residual potential characteristic by using a thin film formed by vacuum deposition of poly-P-phenylene sulfide as an electric charge transfer material. CONSTITUTION:A film formed by vacuum deposition of poly-P-phenylene sulfide (PPS) is used as an electric charge transfer layer with an electrophotographic sensitive body provided with an electric charge generating material and an electric charge transfer material on a conductive base. The PPS has resistance as high as 10<17>-10<18>OMEGAcm, is an insulator, has excellent heat resistance and mechanical characteristics and is manufactured as an engineering plastic having high functions. The PPS is formed into a thin film by vapor deposition. The vapor deposition device is constituted of a vacuum vessel 1, a supporting base body 2, a shutter 3, an evaporating source 4, a heating power source 5 for the evaporating source, an evacuating system 6, a power source 7 for heating substrate, etc. |
