The contact condition at substrate/CGL (charge generation Layer) was analyzed using different work function metals and two kinds of pigments (lead phthalocyanine/PbPc and fluorenonebisazo pigment/ Azo). From D. C. transient current and low frequency capacitance measurements, the contacts of PbPc/low-work-function metals and PbPc/high-work-function metals are Schottky and Ohmic, respectively. Azo CGL exhibits the insulating behavior because of low carrier concentration. These contact conditions were well reflected in the xerographic characteristics of photoreceptors.
