Definitions

  • This invention relates to color photographic elements and in particular to color photographic elements capable of providing full color images with exposure of at least two silver halide emulsion layers to radiation outside the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • the present invention relates to a a color photographic element having at least three emulsion layers associated with color image providing materials, each emulsion layer being sensitized to a different region of the electromagnetic spectrum and at least two layers being sensitized to radiation within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Dyes which have been capable of sensitizing silver halide emulsions to infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum have been known for many years.
  • Merocyanine dyes and cyanine dyes, particularly those with longer bridging groups between cyclic moieties have been used for many years to sensitize silver halide to the infrared.

  • U.S. Patent 4,362,800 discloses dyes used to sensitize inorganic photoconductors to the infrared, and these dyes are also effective sensitizers for silver halide.
  • a photographic element which is capable of providing full color images without exposure to corresponding visible radiation.
  • the element comprises at least three silver halide emulsion layers on a substrate.
  • the at least three emulsion layers are each associated with different photographic color image forming materials, such as color couplers capable of forming dyes of different colors upon reaction with an oxidized color photographic developer, diffusing dyes, bleachable dyes, or oxidizable leuco dyes.
  • the three emulsion layers are sensitized to three different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum with at least two layers sensitized to different regions of the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • the layers must be in a construction that prevents or reduces the exposure of layers by radiation intended to expose only one other layer. This is done by providing differences in speed of emulsions sensitive to different wavelengths of the infrared.
  • Figures 1A, 1B, and 1C show the D vs logE curves for the photographic element of Example 1 after exposure to radiation having wavelengths 780 nm, 830 nm, and 890 nm, respectively.
  • Figure 2 shows the D vs logE curve for the photographic element of Example 2 after exposure to radiation having a wavelength of 780 nm.
  • Figure 1 shows the D vs logE curve for the photographic element of Example 1 when exposed to 780 nm radiation.

  • Curve B shows the magenta-forming layer in the element without a filter layer.
  • Curve B' shows the magenta-forming layer when a filter dye is present between layers 3 and 5.
  • Curve C shows the cyan-forming layer.
  • the shift in the D vs logE curve between Curves B and B' is 0.38 Log E units.
  • a photographic element is herein described which photographic element is capable of providing a full color image or three color images with exposure of at least two silver halide emulsion layers to radiation outside the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum comprising
  • the difference between any two layers sensitive to the infrared be at least 20 nm, more preferred that the difference be at least 35 nm, and most preferred that the difference in wavelengths of maximum spectral sensitivity be at least 50 nm between any two layers sensitized to the infrared.
  • filter layers between emulsion layers can help reduce the needed levels of sensitivity differences between layers.
  • a filter dye between layers which absorbs strongly at the wavelengths of maximum spectral sensitivity of the uppermost emulsion layer (with respect to the direction from which exposure occurs) the needed difference in sensitivity of the lower layer can be somewhat reduced.
  • the preferred arrangement of layers has the wavelengths of maximum spectral sensitivity in the respective layers getting longer as one moves away from the direction (or surface) from which the exposure is to be made. That is, using for example, color paper or print as a reference, the infrared sensitive layer furthest from the paper base has a wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity which is shorter than the wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity of any other emulsion layer closer to the base. This preference is because sensitization peaks of dyes tend to fall off more quickly towards longer wavelengths making sensitivity separation more easily effected and filter dyes more easily chosen.
  • any two layers when all three emulsion layers are within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, any two layers must have wavelengths of maximum spectral sensitivity differing by at least 15 nm and speed differences of at least 0.2 logE units.
  • Spectral sensitizing dyes are available across the entire visible spectrum and even in to the ultraviolet. One of ordinary skill in the art could thus easily sensitize the third emulsion layer to a wavelength outside the infrared where there would be practically no overlap in spectral sensitization effected by the various sensitizing dyes.
  • the third emulsion layer could be sensitized more than 100 nm below the infrared (beginning at 750-780 nm) to the blue, green or yellow portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. If for any reason it were desired to have the third emulsion layer sensitized to a portion of the spectrum less than 100 nm from the shortest wavelength within the infrared to which an emulsion is sensitized, it would be desirable to give consideration to adjusting the speed of the emulsion sensitized to the visible in a manner similar to that done for shorter wavelengths within the infrared. If the emulsion layer sensitized to the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is near to the infrared (e.g.
  • the speed of the emulsion sensitized to the visible should also be at least 0.2 or at least 0.5 logE units faster than the speed of the emulsion sensitized to a wavelength within the infrared nearest the visible portion of the spectrum.
  • the use of spectral sensitizing dyes within the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which form J-bands will effectively reduce the impact of this consideration.
  • the speed of the emulsion layers is to be determined, at all times, at the wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity for the emulsion layer.
  • wavelength of maximum sensitivity should be read as wavelength of maximum spectral sensitivity in the invention, that is, the wavelength of maximum sensitivity effected by the addition of spectral sensitizing dyes.
  • the broadest range of contrasts for use in construction of emulsions within the present invention is 0.5 to 12.
  • the lower limit is essentially a function of the power available from lasers in imaging apparatus.
  • the upper limit tends to be a function of the type of use to which the film or paper is to be used.
  • a range of 1 to 11 for contrast is preferred; a contrast of 2 to 8 is more preferred.
  • a photographic element is further herein described, which photographic element is capable of providing a full color image with exposure of at least two silver halide emulsion layers to radiation outside the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum comprising
  • the relative order in the relationship of the emulsion layers is important in obtaining benefits from the technology.
  • the first layer as described above, must be the emulsion layer farthest from the imaging radiation.
  • the first layer would be the emulsion layer farthest from the base, the top emulsion layer from a conventional perspective.
  • photographic elements are not exposed through the base, and the first layer would normally be the infrared sensitized emulsion layer closest to the base.
  • all of the silver halide emulsion layers are sensitized to different infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is essential that at least two layers be sensitized to different infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The order of those at least two layers must still be that the emulsion layer sensitized to the longer wavelength is closest to the side of the photographic element first struck by the exposing radiation. There is more flexibility with respect to the placement of other silver halide emulsion layers which are sensitized to visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Layer 1 would merely be constructed as a conventional yellow forming silver halide emulsion layer (or negative dye forming layer). If the yellow layer were placed in a construction between the two infrared sensitized layers, such as 1) 800 nm, 2) 580 nm, and 3) 880 nm, the difference in emulsion sensitivity, if used, would be between layers 1) and 3). The sensitivity of layer 2) would be selected only on the basis of the activity desired to produce an effective yellow color. There are no significant considerations of guarding against exposure of layer 2 by radiation used to expose layers 1) or 3). Filters could be used if the dyes in layer 2) had a long tail on its absorption curve, but that would occur only with less than skillful selection of the yellow sensitizing dye.
  • the visible light sensitive emulsion layer is used as the emulsion layer farthest from the base, similar considerations must be made.
  • the filter layer would still have to be between the two infrared sensitive layers, if a filter layer is used.
  • the difference in emulsion sensitivity must also be present between the two infrared sensitized layers if that method is used.
  • the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is given various ranges, but is generally considered to be between 750 to 1500 nm which overlaps a small portion of the visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., 750-780 nm).
  • a large number of dyes are known to sensitize silver halide emulsions to various portions of the infrared region of the spectrum.
  • cyanines and merocyanines are well documented as infrared sensitizers for various types of imaging systems including silver halide emulsions.
  • the sensitizing dyes chosen are extremely important to the construction of the color multilayer material.
  • these dye structures are usually symmetrical or unsymmetrically substituted dicarbocyanines 1 and tricarbocyanines 2 with the auxochromic portions of the dyes being lepidine 3, quinoline 4, naphthothiazole 5, benzothiazole 6, and so forth.
  • Heterocyclics may also be introduced into the methine chain to increase rigidity and stability of the dye molecule.
  • IR-sensitizing dyes 7-9 are shown in the following formulae. Each of these dyes was added to a silver chlorobromide emulsion coated and subsequently were exposed at various times with the emission from a tungsten-lamp source on a wedge spectrograph. The characteristic shape of their curves is a broad tail of sensitization stretching 150 to 300 nm from the peak of maximum sensitization to the shortest wavelength side of the spectrum, but a narrow tail of sensitization 50 to 70 nm wide on the longer wavelength side.
  • Other cyanine-type dyes 10-20 with various auxochromic end groups also exhibited similar sensitization curves on the emulsion.
  • the wavelength of the peak of maximum sensitization (Peak) and the wavelength of the point at which minimum sensitization at longer wavelengths occur (Minimum) are shown. Any of the known useful anions may be associated with these compounds, but I - , Br - , tosylate, and para-toluene sulfonate are preferred.
  • infrared sensitizing dyes like most other sensitizing dyes do not have monochromatic absorption curves, but absorb, and thus sensitize to, a range of radiation wavelengths.
  • J-banding dyes which tend to have a narrower range of absorption for each dye, absorb over a range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This range can extend from a few nanometers up to a few hundred nanometers.
  • exposing radiation sources from lasers can be essentially monochromatic, the spectral sensitivities of even single layer emulsions may have maximum sensitivities at the wavelength of the exposing radiation, but still bracket that wavelength with a range of sensitivity.
  • infrared laser diodes tend to emit radiation between wavelengths of 750-950 nm. This tends to be too narrow a range to allow for multiple layer photographic emulsions with different regions of sensitivity.
  • Sensitizing dyes selected to sensitize at 780, 830, and 880, for example, would have sensitizing effects that could overlap the other wavelengths. Particularly in a photographic element intended to provide a full color image, an overlap in sensitizing ranges would cause poor faithfulness in color rendition because of the spurious imaging of multiple layers by the same wavelength of radiation.
  • the constructions enable manufacture of high quality Color photographic images, even where the various emulsion layers are sensitized to maximize sensitivity at peaks within fifty nanometers of each other.
  • any of the various types of photographic silver halide emulsions may be used in the invention.
  • Silver chloride, silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chlorobromide, silver chlorobromoiodide, and mixtures thereof may be used, for example.
  • Any configuration of grains, cubic orthorhombic, hexagonal, epitaxial, or tabular (high aspect ratio) grains may be used.
  • the couplers may be present either directly bound by a hydrophilic colloid or carried in a high temperature boiling organic solvent which is then dispersed within a hydrophilic colloid.
  • the colloid may be partially hardened or fully hardened by any of the variously known photographic hardeners. Such hardeners are free aldehydes (U.S. Pat.
  • the silver halide photographic elements can be used to form dye images therein through the selective formation of dyes.
  • the photographic elements described above for forming silver images can be used to form dye images by employing developers containing dye image formers, such as color couplers, as illustrated by U.K. Pat.

  • Filter dyes are materials well known to the photographic chemist. The dyes where used, must be selected on the basis of their radiation filtering characteristics to insure that they filter the appropriate wavelengths. Filter dyes and their methods of incorporation into photographic elements are well documented in the literature such as U.S. Patent Nos. 4,440,852; 3,671,648; 3,423,207; and 2,895,955; U.K. Patent No. 485,624, and Research Disclosure, Vol. 176, December 1978, Item 17643.

There is some overlap of D logE curves for layer 5 and layer 3 when no filter dye is present in layer 4 (shown with solid line) and therefore, no pure color separation would be observed after exposure. However, after the incorporation of a filter dye in layer 4 with 0.4 absorbance at 780 nm, the effect on the D logE curve of layer 3 is shown by the dashed line and the full density of color would be achieved in layer 5 before exposure of layer 3.
  • the need for the 830 nm absorbing filter dye in layer 2 may become unnecessary if the speed of the emulsion layers 1 and 3 are manipulated properly as described below:
  • overlap of D logE curves for Layer 5 and Layer 3 occurs without a filter dye present in Layer 4 (solid lines) and after the incorporation of the dye in Layer 4, pure color separation with the 780 nm exposure is achieved as shown by the dashed line for Layer 3.
  • the 830 nm filter full density of color for Layer 3 is achieved before any exposure of Layer 1 negates the need for a filter dye in Layer 2. Good color separation was achieved because of the accurate speed manipulation of both these layers.
  • a photographic element was prepared by coating sequentially the following three layers onto a subbed polyester film support.
  • Coating 2 was identical with Coating 1 except that a magenta dye developer of structure C replaced the yellow dye developer in the first layer and the silver halide emulsion was sensitized not to 780 nm but to 830 nm radiation by the addition of a sensitizing dye of structure D (5 ⁇ 10 -5 moles dye per mole silver).

  • the receptor sheets were separated after one minute.
  • Coating 1 showed a maximum sensitivity at 760 nm resulting in a positive yellow image on the receptor sheet. Coating 1 exhibited no measurable sensitivity at 820 nm or longer wavelengths.
  • Coating 2 was 0.57 reciprocal Log exposure units less sensitive at 760 nm than at 820 nm and 1.70 reciprocal Log exposure units less sensitive at 880 nm than at 820 nm.

  • the third layer a gelatin chemically sensitized silver chlorobromide emulsion (6.6% Ag) containing anti-foggants, speed enhancers, and magenta color-forming coupler 22 was sensitized to the 830 nm region of the spectrum with dye 8 in the quantity of 8.9 ⁇ 10 -5 mol per mol of silver and was coated so that the silver and magenta coupler coating weights were 492 mg/dm 2 and 1.12 g/m 2 , respectively.
  • the fourth layer a gelatin interlayer containing hardener, U.V. absorber, antioxidant and the filter dye 29, which has been dissolved in methanol and added to the gelatin mixture, was coated such that the filter dye and gelatin coating weights were 8.3 mg/m 2 and 0.65 mg/m 2 , respectively.
  • the fifth layer a gelatin chemically sensitized silver chlorobromide emulsion (6.7% Ag) containing antifoggants, speed enhancers, and yellow color-forming coupler 21 was dye sensitized to the 780 nm region of the spectrum with dye 7 in the quantity of 3.4 ⁇ 10 -4 mol per mol of silver and was coated so that the coating silver and yellow coupler weights were 497 mg/m 2 and 679 mg/m 2 , respectively.

  • Example 8 ⁇ 10 all materials were exposed to a tungsten sensitiometer as described in Example 5 ⁇ 7, except separate samples were then similarly exposed using a 780 nm or a 890 nm infrared filter.
  • the sensitometric results are shown in Table 2.
  • the filter dye gel interlayer (layer 4) from Examples 8 and 9 were hand-spread onto polyethylene terephthalate as described above.
  • the absorption curves suggest that absorption of 780 nm and 830 nm light would be similar for the dye interlayer of Example 8 and that less absorption of the 830 nm light vs. 780 nm light would be observed for the dye interlayer of Example 9.
  • the sensitometric results for the multi-layer material of these examples also suggests this observation.
  • the loss in speed for layer 3 (magenta color) relative to the non-filtered layer 3 of Example 10 (control) is .25 logE and .36 logE for Example 9 and 8, respectively.
  • the loss in speed for layer 3 vs. the control (Example 10) was minimal for Example 9 (less dye interlayer filtering) vs. Example 8 (0.9 logE vs..27 logE).
  • the first pass of 780 nm light through the multilayer materials of Example 8 and 9 is non-filtered for layer 5 (780 nm sensitized) so that the first exposure occurs, then as the residual 780 nm light passes through layer 4, some of the light is absorbed. After this filtration, the remaining 780 nm light then continues through the layers, reaches the base, and is reflected back through the layers until more of this light is absorbed or filtered again (effective double filtration) while passing through layer 4 (filter layer) to reexpose the 780 nm layer (layer 5).
  • the total amount of effective 780 nm exposure will be less for multilayer materials containing the filter dye interlayers vs. non-filter dye interlayer constructions and therefore, the observed speed of the 780 nm sensitized (layer 5) will be less because of this total lower amount of exposure.
  • Example 8 ⁇ 10 The results from the set of exposures for the color multilayer constructions of Example 8 ⁇ 10 suggest that the incorporating of filter dyes can effectively manipulate the photographic speeds of emulsion layers. 780 nm Exposure Dmin Dmax SPD2 1 AC 2 Example 8 yellow .20 2.28 5.68 2.70 magenta .19 1.85 4.89 1.93 Example 9 yellow .19 2.25 5.79 2.80 magenta .18 1.99 5.00 2.00 Example 10 yellow .13 2.25 6.03 2.78 magenta .14 2.16 5.25 2.17 830 nm Exposure Dmin Dmax SPD2 1 AC 2 Example 8 magenta .20 2.13 3.22 2.27 cyan .31 * * * Example 9 magenta .18 2.23 3.40 2.27 cyan .25 * * * Example 10 magenta .13 2.22 3.49 2.27 cyan 15 * * * * 890 nm Exposure Dmin Dmax SPD2 AC Example 8 cyan 0.30 .68 3 Example 9 cyan 0.24 .71 2.54 Example 10 cyan
