<p>A piezo-active charge retentive member, such as a photoreceptor (1), has a grounded electrode layer (5) separating a photoreceptive layer (7) and a piezo-active layer (3). External vibration sources become unnecessary since supplying an A.C. voltage across the piezo-active layer (3) to the grounded electrode layer (5) causes the piezo-active layer (3), and thus the entire photoreceptor (1), to vibrate. Vibration of the photoreceptor (1) enhances the transfer of development powder from the photoreceptor (1) to the transfer material, such as a sheet of paper. Vibration of the photoreceptor also improves the development of images and assists the cleaning of residual development powder from the photoreceptor surface. <IMAGE></p> |
