Method and system for reducing surface reflections from an electrophotographic imaging member

摘要

A layered electrophotographic imaging member is modified to reduce the effects of interference within the member caused by reflections from coherent light incident on a ground plane. The modification described is to form an interface layer between a blocking layer and a charge generation layer, the interface layer comprising a polymer having incorporated therein filler particles of synthetic silica or mineral particles. A preferred material is aerosil silica from 10 to 80% by weight. The filler particles scatter the light preventing reflections from the ground plane back to the light incident surface.
