... At the heart of image creation technology




 


The above image shows the characteristic dual layerstructure of an AEG negative charge Organic PhotoConductor. The color of the photoconductor is a result of the chemicals which are used for the charge generation layer and charge transport layer. Therefore the color is fixed by the mentioned parameters and is not negotiable.




We are constantly developing new photoconductor formulations and testing them under extreme climatic and stress conditions. Their process stability is verified in extensive, precisely defined pilot runs. This allows, for instance, the photoconductor layers to be specifically adjusted to the toners and equipment components used by the customers. The range of our R&D activities is very broad:

 

• Development of function layers for organic and inorganic photoconductors which are electro-conductive on exposure to light

 

• Optimization of photoconductor layers in terms of photosensitivity, process speed and service life

 

• Adaptation of properties in line with customer and equipment needs

 

• Specification and approval of materials and production processes

 

• Pretesting of materials used in production.

 

AEG's R&D Department has developed a modular system comprising more than 20 layer formulations – for low to high process speeds, for small to large printing volumes, for negative and positive photoconductor polarity. And the range is being continually developed further on the basis of new market and customer requirements. In this way, we are quickly able to take the step from vision to reality.


 

 

 

Behind our laboratory doors, we handle function pigments with a price of as much as € 30,000 per kilogram. These are high-purity pigments with a specific crystalline structure. They are an essential component in the coating solutions for the dip coating of organic photoconductors.

We also use photo-sensitive pigments of the kind needed for high-performance charge-carrying generator layers. The systematization of the laboratory work at AEG creates the basis for the outstanding process stability and exact reproducibility of our work. In this way, we are able to guarantee stable, reproducible photoconductor properties.
