  Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - electrophotography
Electrophotography is a process used by laser printers, plain-paper fax machines, and copiers to print or reproduce documents.
After the document is reproduced on the image drum with toner, the document image is transferred to paper and fused to it, normally with heat.
Electrophotography technology was subsequently adopted for use in laser printers and plain-paper fax machines.

Electrophotography Overview --The Society for Imaging Science and Technology
Electrophotography is based on two natural phenomena: materials of opposite electrical charge attract and some materials become better conductors of electricity when exposed to light.
Carlson invented a six-step process to transfer an image from one surface to another using these phenomena, illustrated in figure 1.

 Toner for electrophotography - US Patent 6383705   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
An object of the present invention is to provide a toner for electrophotography which is excellent all of the low-temperature fixing ability, the offset resistance, the blocking resistance, and the pulverizability, and capable of maintaining a high level of triboelectric charges for a long period of time, without causing contamination of the photoconductor.
The toner for electrophotography of the present invention comprises a resin binder comprising a crystalline polyester (Resin A) and an amorphous polyester and/or an amorphous polyester-polyamide (Resin B) as its main components.
According to the present invention, there can be obtained a toner for electrophotography which is excellent in the low-temperature fixing ability, the offset resistance, the blocking resistance, and the pulverizability, and capable of maintaining a high level of triboelectric charges for a long period of time, without causing the contamination of the photoconductor.

 Process for producing toner for electrophotography - Patent 4983488
A toner for electrophotography produced by polymerizing a monomer dispersed by emulsification in the presence of a colorant and/or a magnetic powder, followed by coagulation is excellent in properties, particularly in cleaning properties, charge stability and caking resistance.
Further, since polyolefin is more hydrophobic than styrene-acrylic resin which is a constituent of the toner, the former is localized in the core part of toner particles and scarcely present on the particle surface or in the vicinity thereof, so that offset prevention effect is not satisfactorily exhibited.
According to this invention, there can be obtained by utilizing a polymerization process a toner for electrophotography suitable for dry development which is excellent in image density, resolution and gradation and, at the same time, excellent in cleaning property, charge stability and caking resistance.

n The first attempts at developing the process of electrophotography are explained in a patent by von Bronx in 1922.
His attempts were directed toward the utilization of photocurrents to activate electrosensitive papers, which were sandwiched between a photoconductive layer and a conductive plate.
The active history of electrophotography, most commonly known and referred to as xerography, begins with Carlson's invention in 1938.

 Photoreceptor for electrophotography - Patent 4908289
The photoreceptor claimed in claim 11, wherein X is a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom.
Common photoreceptors for use in electrophotography are inorganic light-sensitive materials such as amorphous selenium, selenium compounds, cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide, as well as organic compounds typified by poly(vinylcarbazole) and poly(vinylcarbazole) derivatives.
The use of these compounds is not limited to electrophotography; they may also be used with optical recording mediums (e.g., laser discs) and organic solar cells.
