Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 183 words
An electrophotographic recording material consisting of an electroconductive support material and a photoconductive double layer of organic materials which consists of a homogeneous, opaque charge carrier producing dyestuff layer, prepared by vacuum evaporation of the dyestuff onto the support material, the dyestuff being selected from the group consisting of Indanthrene Blue, decacyclene, Indanthrene Brilliant Violet RK, Cibanone Yellow GC, Indanthrene Red F3B, Indanthrene Navy Blue R, Ciba Orange G, trifluoromethylaminoacridone, 2-(p-dimethylaminobenzal)-indanedione-1,3, 2-5-bis-(piperonal)-cyclopentanone-1, 2,5-bis-(3,4-dimethoxybenzal)-cyclopentanone-1, 2,5-bis-(p-diethylaminobenzal)-cyclopentanone-1, Celliton Yellow 3GE, Celliton Yellow 7G and Indanthrene Gold Orange GG, and a transparent top layer of insulating material with at least one charge transporting compound, said top layer consisting of a mixture of a charge transporting, monomeric, heterocyclic compound selected from the group consisting of oxazoles, oxdiazoles, triazoles, imidazoles and pyrazoles, substituted by at least one dialkylamino group or two alkoxy groups and having an extended π -electron system, and a binder in the ratio by weight of about 1 : 1, the dyestuff layer having a thickness of about 0.005 to 2 microns and the transport top layer having a thickness of about 5 to 20 microns.
