==ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOCONDUCTOR, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18176192 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOCONDUCTOR, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an electrophotographic photoconductor with a conductive substrate, undercoat layer, and photosensitive layer containing a charge generation layer and charge transport layer.

* The undercoat layer contains a resin binder and a first filler, which includes zinc oxide particles surface-treated with an N-acylated amino acid or salt.
* The charge generation layer contains an adduct compound of titanyl phthalocyanine and butanediol.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be used in photocopiers, laser printers, and other electrophotographic devices.

== Problems Solved ==
This innovation improves the performance and durability of electrophotographic photoconductors by enhancing charge generation and transport properties.

== Benefits ==
- Enhanced image quality
- Improved longevity of photoconductors
- Increased efficiency in electrophotographic processes

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing Electrophotographic Photoconductors for Improved Performance and Durability"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to the use of zinc oxide particles in photoconductors or the combination of titanyl phthalocyanine and butanediol in charge generation layers.

== Unanswered Questions ==
1. What specific improvements in image quality can be expected with this technology?
2. Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to using zinc oxide particles in the undercoat layer?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electrophotographic photoconductor including a sequentially-provided conductive substrate, an undercoat layer, and a photosensitive layer. Photosensitive layer is a negatively-charged stacked type including a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer. Undercoat layer contains a resin binder and a first filler, the first filler including a zinc oxide particle surface-treated with an N-acylated amino acid or an N-acylated amino acid salt, and the charge generation layer containing an adduct compound of titanyl phthalocyanine and butanediol.
