DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a defined non-photosensitive layer,
The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material in which a dye having a spectral absorption maximum wavelength is used and a pyrazoloazole type compound is used in a silver halide emulsion layer to improve image quality and color image storability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter simply referred to as "light-sensitive material"), particularly in a light-sensitive material for photographing, if it is a light-sensitive material having the same photosensitivity, sharpness, color reproducibility, etc. Of course, the excellent image quality of is required.

As one means for improving the sharpness, there has been proposed a method of preventing light scattering which occurs when light is transmitted through a film of a light-sensitive material when the light-sensitive material is photographed.
As one of the techniques, by coating an antihalation layer, light transmitted through the silver halide emulsion layer becomes reflected light on the surface of the support, and the silver halide emulsion layer is exposed again to prevent blurring of the image. And, for example, JP-A-52-92.
No. 716, No. 55-120030, No. 55-1206
60, 56-12639.

As an anti-irradiation method, as described in US Pat. No. 3,409,433, scattered light resulting from silver halide crystals in a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer is added to the emulsion layer. However, naturally, there is a limit to the use of the dye in a light-sensitive material for photographing which requires high sensitivity.

Further, as a method for dyeing the non-photosensitive layer (intermediate layer), for example, JP-A-61-292636 and JP-A-6-292636 can be used.
1-295550, 62-10650 and 62.
No. 1036441, the method of the present invention is one in which the non-photosensitive layer on the exposure light source side is dyed with respect to the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer whose sharpness is desired to be improved. Is completely different from. Further, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho 62
The method described in JP-A-166330 does not particularly define the positional relationship between the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer for improving sharpness and the non-photosensitive layer to be dyed,
It is described that it is preferable to dye the non-photosensitive layer on the exposure light source side of the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, which is basically different from the present invention as described above.

Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-105947 and 1
No. 222222, a non-photosensitive layer is provided adjacent to the side of the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer near the support, and the non-photosensitive layer has a spectral absorption maximum wavelength in the wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm in the film. A light-sensitive material containing a non-diffusible dye and a development inhibitor-releasing compound in at least one of the silver halide light-sensitive layers is disclosed. However, these are intended to improve image quality by using a development inhibitor-releasing compound, and are also different from the present invention.

On the other hand, conventionally, most of the magenta color image forming couplers which have been widely put into practical use are couplers of the 5-pyrazolones. Although these 5-pyrazolone type couplers are excellent in the rate of dye formation,
It is known that magenta dyes have an undesired secondary absorption of a yellow component near 430 nm in the short wavelength region, which causes color turbidity and deteriorates color reproducibility. . In order to correct the unnecessary absorption of the coloring dye, so-called colored couplers are used in photographic materials for photographing.

As a magenta color image forming coupler for reducing the side absorption of the yellow component, British Patent No. 1,04
Pyrazolobenzimidazole compounds described in JP-A No. 7,612 and pyrazolopyrazole compounds described in JP-A-60-43659 are known.

Certainly, the dyes formed by these pyrazoloazole-based magenta couplers have less absorption of unnecessary yellow components than the 5-pyrazolone magenta couplers, but the dye formation speed is slow, and the fastness of the coloring dyes is high. The current situation is that it has not been put to practical use due to its low value.

As the yellow coupler, an acylacetamide coupler represented by a benzoylacetanilide coupler and a pivaloylacetanilide coupler is generally used. The benzoylacetamide type coupler generally has the excellent characteristics that the coupling activity with the aromatic primary amine color developing agent at the time of development is high and the yellow dye produced has a large molecular extinction coefficient. The color image fastness is low. Although pivaloylacetamide type couplers are excellent in color image fastness, the coupling reactivity during development is low and the molecular extinction coefficient is small, so more color couplers are required to obtain sufficient color image density. Must be used, which is disadvantageous in terms of image quality and cost.

Further, studies have been conducted on the acyl group of the acylacetamide type yellow coupler.
US Pat. No. Re 27,848 discloses a coupler having a 7,7-dimethylnorbonane-1-carbonyl group or a 1-methylcyclohexane-1-carbonyl group as a modification of the pivaloyl group. However, these couplers have a low coupling activity and the molecular extinction coefficient of the resulting dye is too small to be sufficiently satisfactory. Further, JP-A 47-26133 discloses a coupler having a cyclopropane-1-carbonyl group and a cyclohexane-1-carbonyl group. However, these couplers were not sufficient in that the fastness of the dye formed was low and the spectral absorption characteristics were inferior. for that reason,
Combines high color development (high coupling activity of couplers and high molecular absorption coefficient of formed dyes), color image fastness, and excellent absorption of long-wavelength side of spectral absorption, and less unnecessary absorption in green region. Development of a yellow coupler was desired.

[0012]

As described above, in the conventional method using a dye in the non-photosensitive layer, the image quality such as sharpness and color reproducibility is still unsatisfactory, and further improvement is required. On the other hand, it was necessary to improve the image quality also from the absorption characteristics of the color forming dye obtained from the color image forming coupler. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material which is superior in image quality such as sharpness and color reproducibility. Another object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material excellent in storability of color images.

The light absorption property of the dye used in the present invention is substantially 500 to 600 nm in the non-photosensitive dry film containing the dye.
Any dye having a maximum spectral absorption wavelength may be used, and one kind or a combination of two or more kinds of dyes may be used.

The amount of dye added is such that the average optical density in the dry film of the added non-photosensitive layer is 500 to 600 nm.
It is 1 to 0.50, and preferably 0.03 to 0.30. In the present invention, a dye dispersed in the above-mentioned dispersion method in an amount capable of obtaining this average optical density may be added. As an actual measuring method, a sample obtained by coating a dye with gelatin on a transparent support and drying the sample is measured with a spectrophotometer at a density of 500 to 600 nm, and an average optical density at 500 to 600 nm is obtained from the integrated value.

The dye-added layer of the present invention is a non-light-sensitive layer adjacent to the green-sensitive emulsion layer on the non-exposure side (support side),
Moreover, by localizing in the layer, the sharpness can be remarkably improved by the antihalation effect while keeping the sensitivity reduction of the green photosensitive layer to a minimum. In the layer-structured light-sensitive material in which at least one red-sensitive emulsion layer is present on the support side of the dye-insensitive layer according to the present invention, the dye-insensitive layer allows the red-sensitive emulsion layer to be on the short wavelength side (green sensitivity). By lowering the sensitivity of the (range), the change in hue due to the amount of exposure light is reduced, and more faithful color reproduction is possible.

The color photographic light-sensitive material according to the present invention is prepared according to the RD. No. 17643, pages 28 to 29, No. 18716, page 651, left column to right column, and No. 307105, pages 880 to 881, can be used for development. The color developing solution used in the development of the light-sensitive material of the present invention is preferably an alkaline aqueous solution mainly containing an aromatic primary amine color developing agent. As the color developing agent,
Aminophenol compounds are also useful, but p-phenylenediamine compounds are preferably used, and typical examples thereof are 3-methyl-4-amino-N, N-diethylaniline and 3-methyl-4-amino-N- Ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N
-Ethyl-β-methoxyethylaniline and sulfates, hydrochlorides or p-toluenesulfonates thereof. Among these, in particular, 3-methyl-4-amino-N
-Ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaniline sulfate is preferred. These compounds can be used in combination of two or more depending on the purpose. The color developing solution is an alkali metal carbonate,
PH buffers such as borates or phosphates, and development inhibitors or antifoggants such as chlorides, bromides, iodides, benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles or mercapto compounds. General. Also, as required, hydroxylamine, diethylhydroxylamine, sulfite, hydrazines such as N, N-biscarboxymethylhydrazine, phenylsemicarbazide, triethanolamine, various preservatives such as catecholsulfonic acid, ethylene glycol, Organic solvents such as diethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol,

Representative examples include ethylenediamine-N, N, N, N-tetramethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediamine-di (o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) and salts thereof.

When the reversal process is performed, color development is usually performed after black and white development. In this black-and-white developer, known black-and-white developing agents such as dihydroxybenzenes such as hydroquinone, 3-pyrazolidones such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, or aminophenols such as N-methyl-p-aminophenol are used alone. Alternatively, they can be used in combination. The pH of these color developing solutions and black-and-white developing solutions is generally 9 to 12. The replenishing amount of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material to be processed, but is generally 3 liters or less per square meter of the photographic material, and is reduced to 500 ml or less by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenishing solution. You can also. When the replenishment rate is reduced, it is preferable to prevent evaporation of the liquid and air oxidation by reducing the contact area of the processing tank with the air. The contact area between the photographic processing solution and air in the processing tank can be represented by the aperture ratio defined below. That is, aperture ratio = [contact area between processing solution and air (cm ² )] ÷ [volume of processing solution (cm ³ )] The opening ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably 0.001 to 0.05. It is. As a method of reducing the aperture ratio in this manner, in addition to providing a shield such as a floating lid on the photographic processing liquid surface of the processing tank, a method using a movable lid described in JP-A-1-82033, 63-216050 can be mentioned. Reducing the aperture ratio is not only a step of color development and a step of black-and-white development, but also various subsequent steps, for example, bleaching, bleach-fixing,
It is preferably applied in all steps such as fixing, washing and stabilization. The amount of replenishment can also be reduced by using means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developer. The time for the color development processing is usually set between 2 and 5 minutes, but the processing time can be further shortened by using a high temperature and high pH and using a high concentration of the color developing agent.

The photographic emulsion layer after color development is usually bleached. The bleaching process may be performed simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process), or may be performed individually. In order to further speed up the processing, a processing method of performing bleach-fixing after bleaching may be used. Further, processing in two successive bleach-fixing baths, fixing before bleach-fixing, or bleaching after bleach-fixing can be arbitrarily performed according to the purpose. As the bleaching agent, for example, compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron (III), peracids, quinones, nitro compounds and the like are used. Typical bleaching agents are organic complex salts of iron (III),
For example, aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, glycol etherdiaminetetraacetic acid, or complex salts such as citric acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid Etc. can be used. Among these, iron (III) aminopolycarboxylates including iron (III) complex salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetate and 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetate complex
Complex salts are preferred from the viewpoint of rapid processing and prevention of environmental pollution. Further, the aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salt is particularly useful in a bleaching solution and a bleach-fixing solution. The pH of the bleaching solution or bleach-fixing solution using these aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salts is usually from 4.0 to 8, but the processing can be carried out at a lower pH to speed up the processing.

If necessary, a bleaching accelerator can be used in the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and their pre-bath.
Specific examples of useful bleach accelerators are described in the following specification: US Pat. No. 3,893,858, West German Patent 1,290,812.

In a preferable temperature range, the desilvering speed is improved, and generation of stain after processing is effectively prevented. In the desilvering step, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened as much as possible.
As a specific method of strengthening the stirring, a method of impinging a jet of a processing solution on an emulsion surface of a photosensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, or a method of stirring using a rotating means described in JP-A-62-183461. A method for improving the effect, a method for moving the photosensitive material while bringing the wiper blade provided in the solution into contact with the emulsion surface, and making the emulsion surface turbulent to improve the stirring effect, and a circulation of the entire processing solution. There is a method of increasing the flow rate. Such a stirring improving means is effective for any of the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and the fixing solution. It is considered that the improvement of the stirring speeds up the supply of the bleaching agent and the fixing agent into the emulsion film, and consequently increases the desilvering speed. Further, the above-mentioned means for improving the stirring is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the accelerating effect or eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect of the bleaching accelerator. The automatic developing machine used for the light-sensitive material of the present invention is disclosed in JP-A-60-191257.
It is preferable to have the photosensitive material conveying means described in JP-A Nos. 60-191258 and 60-191259. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 6
As described in Japanese Patent Application No. 0-191257, such a transport means can significantly reduce the carry-in of the processing liquid from the pre-bath to the post-bath, and is highly effective in preventing the performance of the processing liquid from deteriorating. Such an effect is particularly effective for reducing the processing time in each step and reducing the replenishing amount of the processing solution.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally washed with water and / or stabilized after desilvering. The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing step depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, the material used such as a coupler), the use, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (number of stages), the replenishment method such as countercurrent, forward flow, and other various conditions. Can be set widely.
Of these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multi-stage countercurrent method is described in the Journal-al of the Society of Motion Picture a.
nd Television Engineers Vol. 64, pp. 248-253 (195
May, 2005). According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the above-mentioned document, the amount of washing water can be greatly reduced.However, due to an increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria are propagated, and the generated suspended matter adheres to the photosensitive material. Problem arises. In the processing of the color light-sensitive material of the present invention, as a solution to such a problem, the method of reducing calcium ions and magnesium ions described in JP-A-62-288838 can be used very effectively. Also, isothiazolone compounds and thiabendazoles described in JP-A-57-8,542, chlorine-based disinfectants such as chlorinated sodium isocyanurate, and other benzotriazoles, etc., written by Hiroshi Horiguchi, "Bactericidal and Fungicide Chemistry" (1986)

Further, the light-sensitive material of the present invention can be processed directly with a stabilizing solution instead of the above-mentioned washing. In such a stabilization treatment, any of the known methods described in JP-A-57-8543, JP-A-58-14834 and JP-A-60-220345 can be used. Further, after the water washing treatment, a stabilization treatment may be further carried out.

As a dye stabilizer,
Aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde,
Examples thereof include N-methylol compounds, hexamethylenetetramine and aldehyde sulfite adducts.

The overflow solution resulting from the above washing with water and / or supplementation of the stabilizing solution can be reused in other steps such as the desilvering step. In the processing using an automatic developing machine or the like, when each of the above processing solutions is concentrated by evaporation,
It is preferable to correct the concentration by adding water. The silver halide color light-sensitive material of the present invention may contain a color developing agent for the purpose of simplifying and speeding up the processing.

Next, in the eighth layer, which is an intermediate layer of the non-photosensitive layer provided adjacent to the support of the green-sensitive emulsion layer of Sample 101, the wavelength range in the film of the present invention was 500. ~ 6
Sample 102 was prepared by adding D-14, a dye having a spectral absorption maximum wavelength at 00 nm. Sample 103 is sample 101

xM-5 is replaced with (M-9) of the coupler represented by the above general formula [M] of the present invention, and ExM-7 is replaced with (M-21) in an equimolar amount (ExM-5 is a molar conversion of a constituent unit). , Further, the 11th layer ExM-8 to M-8, ExM
A sample was prepared by replacing -9 with M-24 in the same molar amount.

Subsequently, as shown in "Table 2", the samples 103 to 111 are the eighth and tenth intermediate layers and the ninth and first layers.
Samples were prepared by changing one green-sensitive emulsion layer. However, in Sample 111, the dye used in the non-photosensitive layer adjacent to the side of the green-sensitive emulsion layer adjacent to the support was used, and the non-photosensitive layer adjacent to the side of the green-sensitive emulsion layer adjacent to the side of the green-sensitive emulsion layer (yellow of the twelfth layer) was used. It was added to the filter layer) to make a comparative sample.

The prepared samples 101 to 111 were subjected to wedge exposure for sensitometry with white light (color temperature of light source: 4800 ° K), and subjected to the color development processing shown below. The treatment was carried out using an automatic processor after treating the sample separately imagewise exposed until the cumulative replenishment amount of the developing solution became three times the tank volume.

The R and G densities of the processed sample were measured with red and green filters, and the sensitivity (S) was determined from the characteristic curve as a pair of the reciprocal of the exposure dose giving the density of the minimum density + 0.2. Numerical values were obtained, and the difference (ΔS) was calculated based on the value of Sample 101. In addition, exposure was performed with white light through an MTF pattern, and after the above treatment, the MTF value (20 cycles / mm) of a magenta color image was measured and the sharpness was compared. Furthermore, each sample was exposed imagewise using an interference filter with a wavelength of 550 nm (half-value width of 5 nm).
The R concentration and the G concentration of the sample obtained by the above treatment were measured, and the ratio of the R concentration at the same exposure amount point to the G concentration obtained by subtracting the minimum concentration at the exposure amount point at which the G concentration was 2.0 was obtained. Was determined and the density ratio was compared as a measure of color reproducibility. The smaller the obtained density ratio value, the more preferable the color reproduction because the unnecessary red component is not mixed into the green color.
On the other hand, these samples were treated under the conditions of 80 ° C. and 70% RH for 10 seconds in order to evaluate the color image fastness using the previously treated samples.
It is stored for a day, and the magenta density after the test is finished is measured at the point of the exposure amount giving the minimum density before the test +2.0 magenta density, and the density ratio (color image residual ratio, D %). The larger the value, the higher the color image fastness. The amount of dye added, the concentration in the film, and the absorption maximum wavelength in the gelatin film are shown in "Table 2". These results are collectively shown in "Table 2".

[0171]

[Table 2]

From Table 2, the wavelength range in the film is 500 in the non-photosensitive layer adjacent to the side closer to the support of the green-sensitive emulsion layer of the present invention.
Samples 104 to 110 containing a dye having a spectral absorption maximum wavelength at ˜600 nm and using the magenta coupler represented by the general formula [M] of the present invention are samples other than the present invention of Comparative Samples 101 to 103. Contains no dye,
Or the photographic properties (sensitivity) of the red-sensitive emulsion layer closer to the support than the layer containing the dye, as compared with a sample using a coupler other than the coupler represented by the general formula [M] of the present invention.
It is clear that it is possible to provide a color light-sensitive material having an image quality excellent in sharpness and color reproducibility of a magenta color image without significantly deteriorating the image quality. In particular, Samples 101 and 1 are excellent in sharpness and color reproducibility in the constitution of the present invention.
This can be seen from the comparison between 02 and Samples 103 and 104. Also,
From the comparison between Sample 104 and Sample 111, it can be seen that the dye is added to the non-photosensitive layer adjacent to the side of the green-sensitive emulsion layer closer to the support. It is also clear that the photographic properties (sensitivity) and the image quality are superior to those in the case of being added to the functional layer (the 12th yellow filter layer).

Example 2 Based on the sample 104 prepared in Example 1, yellow couplers ExY-2 used in the blue-sensitive emulsion layers of the 13th to 15th layers, comparative couplers and the above-mentioned general formula of the present invention were used. Samples 201 to 210 were prepared by substituting the coupler shown in "Table 3" represented by (YI) in an equimolar amount.

These Samples 201 to 210 produced were subjected to white light wedge exposure together with Samples 102 and 104 produced in Example 1, and their photographic properties were determined for yellow density according to the method of Example 1 (Sample 102 Sensitivity difference as a reference, ΔS).

As for the color turbidity, the density (B _G ) of the unnecessary green component in the blue region is uniformly exposed to the green light (0.5 sec. Lux) and then the wedge exposure of the blue light is performed. A value was obtained by subtracting the magenta density at Dmin measured in yellow density from the magenta density at the exposure amount that gives a yellow density of Dmin + 1.0 of the obtained color image. Second, the concentration of unwanted blue component in the green region (G _B), given a wedge exposure of green light, the yellow density points of concentration amount giving a magenta density of Dmin + 1.0 of the resulting color image , The value obtained by subtracting the yellow density at Dmin measured with the magenta density was obtained. These B _G and G _B were used as another scale of color reproducibility.

The color image fastness was evaluated under the same conditions as in Example 1 above, and the yellow color image was evaluated. These results are collectively shown in "Table 3". The comparative coupler is shown in "Chemical Formula 61".
