Photoreceptor for electrophotography |
(57) A photoreceptor for electro-photography is disclosed. In the photoreceptor, the outermost
surface layer comprises a polycarbonate resin having viscometric average molecular
weight of 40,000 or more, and the amount of solvent remaining in said photosensitive
layer is not more than 2% by weight of said photosensitive layer. A photoreceptor
for electrophotography with enhanced durability without causing insufficient cleaning
is provided by the invention. A method of manufacturing the same, an electrophotographic
apparatus and an apparatus unit using the same are also disclosed.
