Electrophotographic imaging member having two charge transport layers for limiting toner consumption
Patent number: 6379853Abstract: An electrophotographic imaging member including a supporting substrate, an optional charge blocking layer, an optional adhesive layer, a charge generating layer, and a charge transporting element including two sequentially deposited charge transport layers each including a hole transport material and an optional film forming binder. A first charge transport layer exhibits a first charge carrier transit time and second charge transport layer exhibits a second charge carrier transit time. The two charge transport layers are formed in one of two ways. First, each layer can be formed from a different charge transport material so that the charge mobility of the charge transport material of the first charge transport layer is about 4 to about 20 times lower than the charge mobility of the charge transport material of the second charge transport layer. Or, alternatively, each charge transport layer can be made using a different amount of the same charge transport material.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Liang-bih Lin, Cindy C.
