摘要:
An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a conductive substrate, a first layer structure with a single layer made mainly of amorphous silicon formed on the substrate, and a second layer structure including multiple layers also mainly made of amorphous silicon layered in succession on the first layer structure. The plurality of second layers includes at least two high resistance layers having a relatively high resistance value and at least one low resistance layer having a relatively low resistance value compared to the high resistance value. The layers of the second layer structure are layered alternately on the first layer structure so that the first and last layers in the second layer structure are high resistance layers.

An electrostatic recording apparatus comprises a photosensitive drum. The photosensitive drum comprises a bulk layer of amorphous silicon formed on a support, and in the bulk layer, a first layer region is formed at the support side and a second layer region is formed at the surface side. The first layer region is formed in a manner of comprising hydrogen of 0.01-40 atomic %, oxygen of 0.1-40 atomic % and boron of 5.times.10.sup.-6 -1.0 atomic %. On the other hand, oxygen and boron are not doped virtually in the second layer region and generation of carrier traps is suppressed in this non-doped second layer region. Furthermore, the peak wavelengths of the lights irradiated onto the photosensitive drum from both a light source for exposure and light source for discharge are set shorter than 650 nm, and preferably shorter than 600 nm. Light of short wavelengths shorter than 650 nm is almost absorbed in the second layer region, and generation of carriers in the first layer region is small, and thereby capture of carriers in traps is suppressed.

An electrostatic latent image forming apparatus includes a dielectric drum (10) a surface of which is uniformly charged in a predetermined polarity by a charging corotron (16). A recording head (18) includes a transparent base plate (30), a transparent electrode (32) and a photoconductive layer (34) composed of an amorphous silicon are formed on the transparent base plate in this order. A plurality of discharging electrodes (36) are formed on the photoconductive layer. A bias voltage (46) having a reverse polarity of the charged polarity being charging by the charging corotron is applied. When a light signal in accordance with an image to be formed is entered on the back surface of the transparent base plate, carriers, that is, holes and electrons are generated in the photoconductive layer, the carrier having the same polarity as the bias voltage is discharged onto the dielectric drum through the discharging electrodes. Electric charges are removed or reduced at a portion on the dielectric drum where such discharge occurs, and therefore an electrostatic latent image in accordance with the light signal being entered is formed on the dielectric drum.

摘要:
A transparent conductive film is formed on a glass substrate covering substantially its entire surface area and this transparent conductive film is divided into a plurality of transparent conductive parts per each photoelectric converting region. The photoelectric converting region is of a nearly rectangular shape, and accordingly, in order to divide the transparent conductive film into respective transparent conductive film parts, a laser beam is irradiated along all longitudinal and lateral sides of the rectangle. Thereby, the transparent conductive film parts corresponding to the photoelectric converting regions are formed as island regions. Semiconductor film parts are formed on the transparent conductive film parts divided into island regions corresponding to respective photoelectric converting regions and subsequently aluminum film parts are formed on these semiconductor film parts. Transparent conductive film parts are electrically connected to aluminum film parts of adjacent photoelectric converting regions. Thus, a photovoltaic device is manufactured wherein a plurality of photoelectric converting regions are formed on the substrate and respective photoelectric converting regions are connected in a series fashion.
