An imaging member having a charge transport layer with multiple regions is provided.
The charge transport layer includes a plurality of charge transport layers coated
from solutions of similar or different compositions or concentrations, wherein
at least the top or uppermost transport layer comprises a lower concentration of
charge transport compound than the first (bottom) charge transport layer. The charge
transport compound included in the first (bottom) charge transport layer may either
be of the same or different compounds from that included in the top or additional
charge transport layer(s). The charge transport compound present in each layer
may be dissolved or molecularly dispersed in an electrically inactive polymer material
to form a solid solution. In such a construction, the resulting charge transport
layer exhibits enhanced cracking suppression, improves wear resistance, provides
excellent imaging member electrical performance, and delivers improved print quality.
