Abstract: Coating applicator system comprising a stationary blade and a reciprocating applicator blade. A quantity of photoelectrophoretic ink is supplied to the surface of the stationary blade when the applicator plate is cammed out. When the applicator plate is cammed in, the applicator plate moves the ink on the stationary coater blade into the coating gap to supply a uniform quantity of ink to the surface to be coated.

Abstract: Method for in situ preparation of photoconductive composite having an electronically active hole transport layer, an electronically active electron transport layer and a layer of charge transfer complex sandwiched therebetween. According to this method, a film containing either an electron donor or an electron acceptor is initially formed directly on a supportive (preferably conductive) substrate. After this film has been allowed to set, a second film is solvent coated on the previously formed film. The solvent used in preparation of the second film causes softening of the previously formed layer which permits interaction of an electron acceptor or an electronic donor in the casting solvent with an electron acceptor or an electron donor of the previously formed layer, thereby forming a charge transfer complex at the interface of these two films. Only a portion of the donor and acceptor interact along this common boundary during the formation of the photoconductive composite.
