Abstract

Xerographic characteristics of the double layer structure PVCz/HgS have been evaluated. These characteristics for the double layer have been compared with those for the single layer of HgS pigment and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin. Acceptance potential, fractional dark and photoinduced decrease, contrast potential, and relative spectral sensitivity are the most important characteristics studied. The double layer shows a maximum surface potential of 1632 V and 93% fractional decay of surface potential under illumination (intensity being 8.5 m W cm−2), calculated 10 sec after the start of illumination. The spectral sensitivity is nearly panchromatic from 460 to 530 nm with a sensitivity peak at 585 nm in the visible region.
