Organic photoconductor |
(57) An organic photoconductor including a base layer formed of a first material and a
photoconductive layer formed of a second material. The organic photoconductor being
characterized in that when it is maintained in a curved orientation with the photoconductive
layer facing outward, the photoconductive layer is subjected to less stress than the
base layer. In one embodiment the first material is relatively more flexible and stretchable
than said second material and the materials are pre-stressed in opposite senses. In
a second embodiment the first material is relatively flexible and stretchable and
the second material is an initially less flexible and stretchable material which has
been chemically treated to increase its stretchability and flexibility.
