ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463749 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an electrophotographic photosensitive member designed to minimize potential fluctuation during high-speed printing processes. The member includes a support, a charge generating layer, and a charge transporting layer. The charge transporting layer consists of a compound represented by formula (C-1) and at least one compound represented by formula (C-2) or (C-3), with a specific content range in the layer.

  • Compound represented by formula (C-1)
  • Compound represented by formula (C-2) or (C-3)
  • Content range of (β) in the charge transporting layer: 250 to 610 mass ppm

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in high-speed electrophotographic printing processes where potential fluctuation needs to be minimized.

Problems Solved

1. Potential fluctuation in electrophotographic photosensitive members during repeated use. 2. Maintaining stable performance in high-speed printing processes.

Benefits

1. Improved print quality and consistency. 2. Extended lifespan of electrophotographic photosensitive members. 3. Enhanced reliability in high-speed printing environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized for use in high-speed electrophotographic printing machines.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include electrophotographic photosensitive members with charge transporting layers, but specific compositions and content ranges may differ.

Unanswered Questions

How does the compound represented by formula (C-1) contribute to minimizing potential fluctuation in the photosensitive member?

The compound represented by formula (C-1) likely plays a crucial role in stabilizing the charge transport properties of the layer, leading to reduced potential fluctuation.

What are the specific characteristics of the compound represented by formula (C-2) or (C-3) that make them suitable for inclusion in the charge transporting layer?

The compounds represented by formula (C-2) or (C-3) likely possess properties that complement those of the compound represented by formula (C-1), enhancing the overall performance and stability of the photosensitive member.


Original Abstract Submitted

An object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrophotographic photosensitive member which can suppress the potential fluctuation due to repeated use even with the electrophotographic apparatus of high printing process speed.
