An electrophotographic recording material comprising an electroconductive support material with a photoconductive double layer of organic materials composed of a homogeneous, uniform, opaque, charge carrier producing layer of tightly packed dyestuff molecules, prepared by high vacuum evaporation of the dyestuff, and a transparent top layer of insulating materials with at least one charge transporting compound, in which the organic dyestuff layer is composed of a compound of the general formula
- R.sub.1 --CH.dbd.N(--A--N.dbd.CH).sub.n --R.sub.2 or R.sub.1 --N.dbd.CH--A--CH.dbd.N--R.sub.2
- in which
- R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are identical or different and stand for an optionally substituted phenyl, styryl, crabazyl, anthryl, pyrenyl of fluorenyl group,
- n is 0 or 1, and
- A is a optionally substituted aromatic and/or heterocyclic ring system selected from the group consisting of benzene, diphenyl, naphthalene, pyrene, perylene, diphenylether, diphenylamine, benzophenone, oxazole, imidazole, pyrazole, thiazole, oxadiazole, bisphenyl-oxadiazole, benz-bis-thiazole, carbazole and xanthene groups,
- and in which the transparent top layer is composed of a mixture of a charge transporting oxadiazole compound having an extended .pi.-electron system, which recording material is useful in an electrophotographic copying process with negative charging of the top layer, if an electron-donating compound is used, and is useful in an electrophotographic copying process with positive charging of the top layer, if the top layer contains an electron-accepting compound.
