ABSTRACT:
Pyroelectric materials are used to create net charge/surface potentials for use in xerographic charge and transfer steps. Heating and cooling a pyroelectric film, such as, polyvinylidene fluoride induces thermal expansion or contraction which create surface charge density changes that can be used to charge a photoconductive surface and/or transfer an image from a photoconductive surface to a copy sheet.
