ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18342214 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is for an electrophotographic photosensitive member that can maintain its charging ability even after repeated use. - The photosensitive member consists of a support, a conductive layer, a photosensitive layer, and a protective layer. - The protective layer contains a binding resin and a metal oxide particle. - The metal oxide particle has a core and a coating layer. - Both the core and the coating layer contain titanium oxide. - The coating layer also includes niobium. - The inclusion of niobium in the coating layer helps enhance the charging ability of the photosensitive member. - This innovation aims to improve the durability and performance of electrophotographic photosensitive members.
