PHOTOCONDUCTOR STRUCTURE PROCESSING METHODS AND IMAGING DEVICE PHOTOCONDUCTOR STRUCTURES

摘要

Photoconductor structure 10 processing methods and imaging device 20 photoconductor structures 10 are described. According to one embodiment, a photoconductor structure 10 processing method includes processing a photoconductor structure 10 of an imaging device 20 and wherein the photoconductor structure 10 comprises charge transport material 30 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 30 from at least a portion 32 of the photoconductor structure 10. The photoconductor structure 10 may also be further treated to reduce the migration of charge transport material 30. Additional embodiments are described in the disclosure.
