Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, which is spectrally sensitized with a particular sensitizing dye.
The present invention relates to a photographic light-sensitive material which causes little color contamination by residual dye.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, since a photosensitive silver halide emulsion alone has a narrow photosensitive wavelength region, a spectral sensitizer has been used for the purpose of expanding the photosensitive wavelength region to the long wavelength side.

These spectral sensitizers not only enhance the sensitivity in a specific wavelength region, but at the same time, for example, (1) are not affected by other additives or do not affect the effects of other additives. (2) It is required that characteristics such as deterioration of sensitivity and increase of fog and other changes in photographic characteristics do not occur even after a lapse of time. (3) Color contamination does not occur after processing. However, in the present situation, none of the conventionally developed spectral sensitizers satisfying all of these conditions has been found yet.

In the recent photographic market, there is an increasing demand for speeding up of processing, and in order to meet this demand, it is extremely important to satisfy the condition (3). To that end, U.S. Pat.No. 2,153,169, EP 446,8
A merocyanine dye has been proposed in No. 45, but satisfactory performance was not obtained in terms of sensitivity and color stain.

A dye-forming coupler capable of forming a dye by a coupling reaction with an oxidant can be used. The dye-forming couplers are usually selected so that for each emulsion layer a dye is formed which absorbs the light in the light-sensitive spectrum of the emulsion layer, and the blue-sensitive emulsion layer contains a yellow dye-forming coupler. A magenta dye-forming coupler is used in the green-sensitive emulsion layer and a cyan dye-forming coupler is used in the red-sensitive emulsion layer. However, the color photographic light-sensitive material may be produced by a method different from the above combination depending on the purpose.

It is desirable that these dye-forming couplers have a group having 8 or more carbon atoms, which is called a ballast group, which makes the coupler non-diffusible in the molecule. Further, these dye-forming couplers are required to reduce 4 molecules of silver ions in order to form 1 molecule of dye. Even if they are 4-equivalent, only 2 molecules of silver ions need to be reduced. Either equivalence may be used. The dye-forming coupler has a color-correcting effect and is coupled with a colored coupler and an oxidant of a developing agent to develop a development inhibitor, a development accelerator, a bleaching accelerator, a developer, a silver halide solvent, a toning agent. , Hardener, fogging agent,
Compounds that release photographically useful fragments such as antifoggants, chemical sensitizers, spectral sensitizers, and sensitizers are included. Among these, a coupler which releases a development inhibitor with development and improves the sharpness of images and the graininess of images is called a DIR coupler. Instead of the DIR coupler, a DIR compound which releases a development inhibitor at the same time as producing a colorless compound by coupling reaction with an oxidized product of a developing agent may be used. In addition, a colorless coupler (also referred to as a competing coupler) which undergoes a coupling reaction with an oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine developer but does not form a dye can be used in combination with the dye-forming coupler.

As the yellow dye-forming coupler, known acylacetanilide type couplers can be preferably used. Among these, benzoylacetanilide compounds and pivaloylacetanilide compounds are advantageous.

As the magenta color forming coupler, a pyrazolone compound, an indazolone compound, a pyrazoloazole compound, a cyanoacetyl compound and the like can be used, and the pyrazolone compound is particularly advantageous.

As the cyan color coupler, a phenol compound, a naphthol compound or the like can be used.

These developers include aminophenol-based and p-phenylenediamine-based derivatives. Since these compounds are more stable than the free state, they are generally used in the form of salts, for example, hydrochlorides or sulfates. These compounds generally have a concentration of 0.1 to 30 g per 1000 ml of color developer,
It is preferably used at a concentration of 1 to 15 g per 1000 ml of color developer.

Examples of aminophenol type developers include o-aminophenol, p-aminophenol and 5-amino.
Examples include 2-oxytoluene, 2-amino-3-oxytoluene, 2-oxy-3-amino-1,4-dimethylbenzene and the like.
