Although these photoconductive materials have many advantages, such as less charge dissipation in the dark and the ability to quickly dissipate charge when irradiated with light, they also have various disadvantages. have. For example, selenium-based photoreceptors require difficult manufacturing conditions, high manufacturing costs, and must be handled with care because they are susceptible to heat and mechanical shock. Cadmium sulfide photoreceptors and zinc oxide photoreceptors do not provide stable sensitivity in humid environments, and the dyes added as sensitizers cause charging deterioration due to corona charging and photobleaching due to exposure, so they cannot be used for long periods of time. It has the disadvantage that it cannot provide stable characteristics over a long period of time.

Although they are excellent in terms of film formability and light weight, they are still inferior to inorganic photoconductive materials in terms of sufficient sensitivity, durability, and stability against environmental changes. In addition, low molecular weight organic photoconductive compounds are preferable in that the physical properties or electrophotographic properties of the film can be controlled by selecting the type and composition ratio of the binder used in combination; Since it is used in combination with materials, high compatibility with the binder is required.

Photoreceptors in which these high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight organic photoconductive compounds are dispersed in a binder resin have drawbacks such as high residual potential and low sensitivity due to a large number of carrier traps.
