    摘要: There is provided an apparatus for producing a cross-sectional angular surface along a substrate, such as a flexible electrostatographic imaging member belt, comprising a cutting blade that is angled at an angle of less than 90° relative to a plane of an associated substrate to be cut. An apparatus may include a support body, and a blade support member connected to the blade support body. The blade support member comprises a cutting blade having a blade edge. The cutting blade may be positioned, in some embodiments, at an angle of less than 45°, and in other embodiments from about 5° to about 15° relative to a plane of an associated substrate to be cut. The cutting assembly may be used to form a sloping surface on each of first and second marginal end regions of a substrate, such as a flexible electrostatographic imaging member belt, wherein the second sloping surface is substantially parallel with the first new sloping surface. A seamed, flexible electrostatographic imaging member belt may be produced by forming the sheet into a loop and overlapping said first new sloping surface with said second new sloping surface to form a mated region; and, joining said first new sloping surface to said second new sloping surface in the mated region to form a thin profile butt-lap seam.

The charge transport layer has a lower surface and an upper surface, wherein the lower surface is in contiguous contact with the charge generating layer. The charge transport layer comprises a film forming polymer binder and a charge transport compound molecularly dispersed or dissolved therein to form a solid solution. The concentration of the charge transport compound in the charge transport layer decreases from the lower surface to the upper surface. In such a construction, the resulting charge transport layer exhibits enhanced cracking suppression, improved wear resistance, excellent imaging member electrical performance, and improved copy print out quality.
