摘要:
The present invention provides an electrophotographic photosensitive member capable of maintaining high transfer efficiency without causing large transfer current for a long-term use, obtaining an excellent image, and achieving those effects especially when being applied to a color electrophotographic apparatus. The invention also provides a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus each having such a photosensitive member. The present invention includes an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a photosensitive layer on a support, a surface layer containing diorganopolysiloxane having specific repeating structure units α and β, and having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,000,000; in which a content of the diorganopolysiloxane in the surface layer is 0.01 to 20% by weight based on the entire weight of the surface layer (except in the case where the surface layer contains fluorine atom-containing resin particles).
摘要:
Provided are: an electrophotographic apparatus which adopts a contact development system as a development system, which hardly causes toner fusion, and which hardly causes fogging in an output image; and a process cartridge that is detachably attached to a main body of the electrophotographic apparatus. Specifically, provided are: an electrophotographic apparatus equipped with an electrophotographic photoreceptor having a surface layer containing a diorganopolysiloxane having a specific repeating structural unit; and a process cartridge that is detachably attached to a main body of the electrophotographic apparatus.

摘要:
In an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a support, a conductive layer formed on the support, an intermediate layer formed on the conductive layer, and a photosensitive layer formed on the intermediate layer, the conductive layer has been formed by using a conductive layer coating fluid which contains TiO2 particles coated with oxygen deficient SnO2 having an average particle diameter of from 0.20 μm or more to 0.60 μm or less, and has a volume resistivity of from more than 8.0×108 Ωcm to 1.0×1011 Ωcm or less. The electrophotographic photosensitive member can keep charging lines from occurring.

摘要:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member is constituted by a support and a photosensitive layer disposed on the support. The photosensitive layer includes a fluorene compound represented by a formula (1) and a stilbene compound represented by a formula (4). The compounds of the formulas (1) and and (4) may preferably be used as a charge transport material. The combination of such compounds is effective in improving resistances to abrasion, crack and crystallization of the resultant photosensitive layer.
摘要:
A coating method is disclosed, wherein a substrate is coated with a paint discharged through an aperture in the form of not a spray but a continuous string. The coating method is suitably applied to a process for producing a photosensitive member for electrophotography, wherein a paint for providing the photosensitive member, such as the one for providing a photosensitive layer or intermediate layer, is discharged onto a rotating cylindrical substrate to be wound thereabout preferably like a thread on a spool, followed by leveling to form a coating film.
摘要:
The impeller of an electric blower includes a front shroud, a rear shroud, sheet-metal blades, a hub part, and an inducer having a plurality of blade parts. The inducer is configured to be divided into two parts: a first inducer composed of a first hub part and first blade parts; and a second inducer composed of a second hub part and second blade parts. The first inducer is disposed such that outer-peripheral blade-tips of the first blade parts are disposed in the proximity of the front shroud, and that the upper surface of the first hub part is proximally covered by the lower surface of a fastener.
