Abstract
Abstract An electrophotographic material is provided herein which comprises a conductive support layer and a photoconductive insulating layer, the latter layer comprising a photoconductive polymeric compound such as poly-N-vinylcarbazole, and a sensitizer having the following general formula ##SPC1## Wherein B represents a radical selected from the group consisting of ##SPC2## ##SPC3## Compounds falling under the latter general formula include such compounds as 2-phenyl-4-[(2'-phenyl-4'-benzopyranylidene) benzyl]-benzopyrylium perchlorate and 2,3-phenyl-4-[(2'-phenyl 4'-benzopyranylidene)benzyl]-6-methylbenzopyrylium perchlorate.
