Induction Effect of Single Layer Photoreceptor

Abstract

From the viewpoint of digital latent image formation, the induction effect of pigment dispersed single layer photoreceptor is calling attention once again. In this study, supposing charge mobility to have negative electric field dependency, the induction effect was theoretically explained. On the other hand, supposing structural traps to exist at charge current path, the induction effect was also deduced with calculation. These results suggest that the induction effect occurs because of the peculiar charge transport process, in which structural traps bind charge carriers under strong electric field.
