Abstract

Abstract A xerographic plate having a two-layer photoconductive segment comprising a highly doped vitreous selenium transport layer of from about 20 to 200 microns in thickness and an overlaying control layer of at least about 5 microns thickness which comprises selenium. The plate is characterized by low residual potential as well as exhibiting a minimum ghosting effect.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 67 words
The method of imaging comprising a. providing a xerographic plate having a two-layered photoconductive segment, said segment comprising a first layer 40-80 microns thick comprising vitreous selenium doped with 60-10,000 parts per million of halogen, and an overlaying layer about 5 to 20 microns in thickness comprising undoped selenium, b. forming an electrostatic latent image on said plate, and c. developing said image to make it visible.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the latent image is formed by first uniformly charging the surface followed by exposure to a pattern of activating radiation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the halogen dopant comprises chlorine in a concentration of from about 60 to 10,000 parts per million.
