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.
