Photoconductor structure processing methods and imaging device photoconductor structures

Abstract

Photoconductor structure processing methods and imaging device photoconductor structures are described. According to one embodiment, a photoconductor structure processing method includes processing a photoconductor structure of an imaging device and wherein the photoconductor structure comprises charge transport material configured to conduct electrical charges generated responsive to reception of light to form a latent image during an electro-photographic imaging process, the processing comprising removing at least some of the charge transport material from at least a portion of the photoconductor structure. The photoconductor structure may also be further treated to reduce the migration of charge transport material. Additional embodiments are described in the disclosure.
