Claims
- 1. In a method for electrophotography with a light source having a wavelength of about 650 nm or greater, which comprises exposing a photoconductor comprising an electroconductive substrate, a carrier generation layer vapor deposited on said substrate, and a carrier transport layer formed on the carrier generation layer, to a light image from said light source, the improvement wherein said carrier generation layer is made of an indium phthalocyanine having the formula ##STR3## wherein Me represents indium, and said carrier generation layer having a transmittance with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 5.
- 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said photoconductor exhibits a sensitivity with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 7.
- 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the light source has a wavelength of about 800 nm or greater.
- 4. In a method for electrophotography with a light source having a wavelength of about 650 nm or greater, which comprises exposing a photoconductor comprising an electroconductive substrate, a carrier generation layer vapor deposited on said substrate, and a carrier transport layer formed on the carrier generation layer, to a light image from said light source, the improvement wherein said carrier generation layer is made of an indium phthalocyanine having the formula ##STR4## wherein Me represents indium, and said carrier generation layer having a transmittance with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 8.
- 5. The method according to claim 4 wherein said photoconductor exhibits a sensitivity with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 9.
- 6. The method according to claim 4 wherein said light source has a wavelength of about 800 nm or greater.
- 7. In a method for electrophotography with a light source having a wavelength of about 650 nm or greater, which comprises exposing a photoconductor comprising an electroconductive substrate, a carrier generation layer vapor deposited on said substrate, and a carrier transport layer formed on the carrier generation layer, to a light image from said light source, the improvement wherein said carrier generation layer is made of an indium phthalocyanine having the formula ##STR5## wherein Me represents indium, and said carrier generation layer having a transmittance with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 10.
- 8. The method according to claim 7 wherein the photoconductor exhibits a sensitivity with respect to applied wavelength as shown in FIG. 11.
- 9. The method according to claim 7 wherein said light source has a wavelength of about 800 nm or greater.
