Abstract

This Chapter surveys organic photoreceptor devices used in electrophotography. Included in the discussion are the materials (polymers, pigments, charge-transport molecules, etc.), device architecture, fabrication methods, and device electrical characteristics that are critical to the successful functioning of an electrophotographic device (printer).

The Chapter is organized as follows. A brief discussion of the history of xerography and the contributions of Chester Carlson is followed by operational considerations and critical materials properties. The latter includes dark conductivity, photodischarge–charge transport, and photogeneration. Organic photoreceptor characterizations of dark decay, photosensitivity, and electrical-only cycling are discussed in detail. This is followed by discussions of photoreceptor architecture, coating technologies, substrate, conductive layer, and coated layers which carry out specific functions such as smoothing, charge blocking, charge transport, backing, and surface protection.

Martin A. Abkowitz received his Ph.D. in Physics from Syracuse University in 1964. In 1965 he joined the Xerox Corp. Webster Research Center where he was a Principal Scientist until his retirement in 1969. After retirement he was a Visiting Scientist at the University of Rochester. He was a Fellow of the American Physical Society, had 174 publications including 35 U.S. patents, and made over 250 contributed and invited presentations at international conferences. Martin passed away on January 30, 2014. The scientific community has lost an outstanding physicist and I, his co-author, have lost a dear friend.
