PHOTOELECTROGRAPHIC IMAGING WITH A MULTI-ACTIVE ELEMENT CONTAINING NEAR-INFRARED SENSITIZING PIGMENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a photoelectrographic element having a conductive layer in electrical contact with a charge generation layer which is free of photopolymerizable materials and contains an acid photogenerator, a pigment which absorbs near-infrared radiation, and, preferably, an electrically insulating binder. Contiguous with the charge generation layer is a charge transport layer formed from a polymeric binder and one or more charge transport materials. A process for forming images with this element is also disclosed.
