Electrostatic imaging member and methods for using the same

A method for creating an electrostatic latent image, comprising:

• providing an electrostatic imaging device having a charge retentive-surface for receiving an electrostatic latent image thereon, wherein the electrostatic imaging device comprises
• an electrostatic imaging member comprising
• a substrate,
• a charge generation layer disposed on the substrate, and
• a charge transport layer comprising a charge transport molecule disposed on the charge generation layer, wherein electrostatic imaging member is light-sensitive, and further wherein the charge transport molecule comprises N,N,N′,N′-tetra(4-methylphenyl)-(1, 1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine;
• a single exposing device for selectively exposing a surface of the electrostatic imaging member to light;
• and
• a single electrostatic charging device for charging the surface of the electrostatic imaging member, wherein the exposing device is located before the electrostatic charging device such that the exposing the surface of the electrostatic imaging member to light precedes the charging the surface of the electrostatic imaging member;
• selectively exposing a surface of the electrostatic imaging member to light;
• and
• charging the surface of the electrostatic imaging member, wherein charge is not accepted by the exposed surface of the electrostatic imaging member and the charge is accepted by the unexposed surface of the electrostatic imaging member.
