An imaging member having a charge transport layer is provided. The charge transport
layer includes a plurality of charge transport layers coated from solutions of
similar or different compositions or concentrations, wherein the upper or additional
transport layer(s) comprise 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 the same or different
from that included in the additional charge transport layers. The charge transport
compound in one or more of the layers is 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.
