Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a photosensitive body from absorbing moisture and condensing dew, and an image from bleeding at the time of forming an image by attaching a hydrophobic material to the photosensitive body in a step preceding an electrically charging step. CONSTITUTION:The hydrophobic material is attached to an electrostatic latent image bearing body in the step preceding the charging step. For example, undecane CH3(CH2)9CH3 as the hydrophobic organic material is uniformly sprayed on the surface of the photosensitive body 1 made of an amorphous silicon containing H through a nozzle 8, and an excess of the hydrophobic material is removed with a blade 9, and the hydrophobic material is allowed to adapt itself to the surface of the photosensitive body 1.

0. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a latent image forming apparatus using an amorphous silicon electrostatic latent image carrier. (b) Conventional technology Conventionally, the electrophotographic process has been carried out in a static manner. Inorganic materials such as amorphous selenium, cadium sulfide, and zinc oxide, and organic materials such as polyvinylcarbazole and todinitron fluorenone are used as the photoreceptor (hereinafter referred to as photoreceptor). Since photosensitivity is insufficient when used alone, it is safe to use a sensitizer or the like in combination. Therefore,
In recent years, amorphous silicon has attracted attention due to its high photoconductivity, and has been used as a photoreceptor. Amorphous silicon, unlike the above photoconductors, is harmless to the human body, has excellent heat resistance and abrasion resistance, and is an excellent photoconductor having high photoconductivity. However, similar to the above photoreceptor, it still has the disadvantage of lacking moisture resistance and corona ion resistance.

[I have it. (c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, in the conventional technology, in the charging process, I:it, reaction products, i.e., ions due to corona discharge, are attached to the surface of the photoreceptor due to moisture in the air. - induces and causes surface conduction. Therefore, when used as a photoreceptor, it has the drawback of causing blurring of the image. The present invention has been made in view of the acid sites of the prior art, and is intended to prevent formation of photoreceptors and to improve moisture absorption resistance. B) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a charging means for uniformly charging an amorphous silicon photoconductor containing hydrogen, and an exposure device for selectively exposing the charged photoconductor to light. 11. The electrostatic LIW image forming apparatus is characterized in that an adhesion means for adhering a hydrophobic substance to the MJ-recorded photosensitive material is provided in a pre-process of the band' or the means. It is a latent image forming device. (E) Function In the pre-charging step, a thin film of the hydrophobic substance is formed on the surface of the atom body, which can prevent moisture absorption and freezing even in a humid environment. Therefore, image blur does not occur during image formation. Embodiment FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the entire structure of an electronic copy M as one embodiment of the present invention. Here, (1) is a photoreceptor in which an amorphous Citacon-based photosensitive layer containing hydrogen is formed on the surface of a drum-shaped conductive substrate, or a photoreceptor whose surface is coated with a hydrophobic polymer film formed by gold plasma polymerization.

) is a transfer fixing device, (6) is a static eliminating light source, (7J is a cleaning blade for cleaning the surface of the photoreceptor, (8
] is a nozzle for spraying a hydrophobic organic substance onto the photoreceptor surface, and (9) is a fine blade for removing -ffISt of the hydrophobic organic substance after being sprayed onto the photoreceptor surface. In addition, the above-mentioned hydrophobic organic substance has a hydrophobic group in the structure, and the alkyl chain has a carbon atom number of 06 to C1.
+7-1, which is a chain hydrocarbon in g, is preferably a halide thereof, and more preferably a straight chain such as y-decane, and other hydrophobic organic substances include aromatic hydrocarbons, their halides, or gamma-alkyl. Chain length is C6 in terms of number of carbon atoms
It is preferable to use aromatic hydrocarbons having a chain hydrocarbon base of ~C18 or their halides. Specific examples include allylbenzene, ethyltoluene, and benzyl chloride. Note that it is preferable that these hydrophobic organic substances are liquid at around the linear temperature. Furthermore, the blade (9) for removing a portion of the hydrophobic organic matter sprayed onto the surface of the photoreceptor is preferably made of cloth, sponge, or rubber. is preferably the above-mentioned hydrophobic organic substance t monomer. Next, the above-mentioned hydrophobic organic substance to! We will explain the details of the experiment conducted using the system and its results. The surface of the amorphous silicon photoreceptor (1) containing water was uniformly sprayed with undecane CH3 (CH2) CH3%z, which is a hydrophobic substance, from the nozzle (8) and treated with the grade (9). Excess hydrophobic organic matter (removal means spraying to make the hydrophobic organic matter blend onto the surface of the photoreceptor (1). After that, use the FR electric appliance (2) to apply a corona voltage of +6 KV to the photoreceptor (1). is uniformly charged, and the g
Using white light as the source (3), 4 electrostatic latent IJli''k is formed.
Since it is very thin, ~1 pm, preferably U, 100 A ~ 5000 A, an electrostatic latent image is formed by tunneling of the carrier. Further, in the developing device (4), the t7
m19Fmt-) toner development is performed, and a toner image is formed on plain paper in the transfer fixing device (5). After that, the front ml photoreceptor (1) is removed from the above 1! c original source (6)
The static electricity is removed by the cleaning blade (7), and the cleaning blade (7) removes the static electricity. Due to this series of steps, the ambient temperature is 25
℃ and humidity of 60 to 80%, 10,000 sheets were successively copied, and the images of the final copies were evaluated in comparison with the conventional example, and the results shown in Table 1 were obtained. w, Table 1 Also, plasma summer method 1 with ethyltoluene t monomer
An amorphous silicon-based photoreceptor (1
) When using a meeting, the atmosphere temperature was 25℃ and the humidity was 6.
Continuous copying of 10,000 sheets was carried out under each condition of 0.8096, and the image of the longest copy was subjected to VC evaluation in the same manner as above, and the results shown in Table 2 of Mr2 below were obtained. In the second aspect, the reason why there is a difference between the apparatus according to the present invention and the conventional example is as follows. That is, FIG. 2 shows a cross section near the surface of the photoreceptor (1). Rather than schematically showing it, a hydrophobic group σQ is formed on the photoreceptor (IJ), and V% in a humid environment on the photoreceptor (1) is a reaction product during corona charging, especially C nanoion. Even if the hydrophilic group U generated by the method is present, a good image can be obtained because layer formation and dew condensation are prevented on the surface of the photoreceptor (1). , hydrophobic substances are all removed from the nozzle (
8), but it may be configured to be applied by means such as a sponge roller. (G) Effects of the Invention In the present invention, since a hydrophobic substance is attached to the photoconductor in step 9 before the charging process, even in a humid environment, the photoconductor does not absorb moisture.
There will be no condensation. Therefore, in the conventional technology, a phenomenon like ti8iJ does not occur, and image blur does not occur during image formation.
