Abstract
Abstract There is described a single phase organic photoconductive composition consisting of a solid solution of N-ethyl-3-tricyanovinylcarbazole and 2,5-bis(N,N-dimethylaminophenyl) oxadiazole in a polycarbonate binder material. The composition exhibits a shallow field dependence for the photogeneration of charge carriers and thus provides a high contrast potential photoconductive system.
