摘要 |
Organic photoconductive elements which are stable and sensitive over a broad range of the spectrum, including the near infrared band, having a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer carried on an electroconductive support are disclosed. The invention involves the use of a first layer between the support and the charge generating layer which is capable of functioning as (i) an adhesive bonding layer on the electroconductive support to provide a receptive and retentive base layer for the charge generating layer and (ii) as a barrier layer to prevent substantially any leakage of charge from the surface of the photoconductor, characterized by the first layer comprising at least one polycarbonate having a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 25,000 to about 45,000, in combination with a charge generating layer that comprises at least one organic pigment which is sensitive to near infrared radiation.
