ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458686 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes an electrophotographic photoreceptor with a photosensitive layer containing cyclic siloxane compounds on the outermost surface.
- The photoreceptor includes a base material and a photosensitive layer.
- The outermost layer of the photoreceptor contains cyclic siloxane compounds.
- The cyclic siloxane compounds are represented by General Formulae (1), (2), (3), and (4).
- The outermost layer contains a total of 0.0010 ppm or greater of the cyclic siloxane compounds.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electrophotographic printing applications. - It can be utilized in laser printers, copiers, and other imaging devices.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the durability and performance of the photoreceptor. - Improves image quality and longevity of printed materials.
Benefits: - Increased longevity of the photoreceptor. - Enhanced image quality and resolution. - Improved overall performance of electrophotographic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Electrophotographic Photoreceptors for Improved Printing Quality This technology can be commercialized by manufacturers of printing equipment to enhance the quality and durability of printed materials, leading to higher customer satisfaction and increased market competitiveness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How do cyclic siloxane compounds improve the performance of the photoreceptor?
- Cyclic siloxane compounds enhance the durability and longevity of the photoreceptor, leading to improved image quality and overall performance.
2. What are the potential environmental impacts of using cyclic siloxane compounds in photoreceptors?
- The environmental impacts of using cyclic siloxane compounds would depend on factors such as disposal methods and regulations surrounding their use in electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
