Patent number: 8765334Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a novel imaging member, namely, an imaging member or photoreceptor comprising a protective outer layer which comprises light-absorbing composition that substantially prevents any light absorption by the overcoat layer. The composition comprises a low strength thermal plastic resin and a high optical density yellow dye. Thus, the light-blocking protective layer reduces the intrinsic light shock suffered by conventional overcoat layers without negatively impacting electrical properties of the overcoat layer and while improving print quality.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Liang-bih Lin, Kenny-Tuan T. Dinh, Emily K. Redman, Brian P. Gilmartin
