Abstract
Fatigue in organic photoconductors in which the charge transport layer is a source of acidic protons is reduced by including in the charge transport layer a small amount of a nonvolatile basic amine soluble in a common solvent with a charge transport material and the binder of the charge transport layer.
Claims5
An organic photoconductor comprising a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer which is a source of acidic protons, said charge transport layer comprising a charge transport material, a binder and distributed uniformly throughout said charge transport layer a nonvolatile basic amine selected from the group consisting of 1,8-bis-(dimethylamino)-naphthalene and poly(vinyl pyridine).
