First Claim
Patent Images
1. An imaging member, including:
- a substrate; and
a photoconductive layer coated on said substrate, said substrate being anisotropic so as to be stiff along a first axis and flexible along a second axis transverse to the first axis.

Abstract
An imaging member having a substrate with a photoconductive layer coated thereon is anisotropic. The anisotropic substrate is stiff along one axis and flexible along another axis. Reinforcing fibers are aligned in the substrate to achieve the relative stiffness.
