Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heat development diffusion transfer type color light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a heat development diffusion transfer type color light-sensitive material excellent in image discrimination.

2. Description of the Related Art The photographic method using silver halide is superior to other photographic methods such as electrophotography and diazo photography in photographic characteristics such as sensitivity and gradation control. Has been. In particular, since the best image quality is obtained for color hard copy, it has been studied more vigorously these days.

In recent years, the image forming processing method of a light-sensitive material using silver halide has been simplified by changing from a conventional wet processing to an instant photographic system containing a developing solution and further a dry heat development processing such as heating. Systems have been developed that can quickly obtain images. The simple and rapid processing described above often employs a method of forming an image by a diffusion transfer method in order to prevent image contamination due to printout of silver halide after image formation.

The diffusion transfer method is a method of forming or releasing a diffusible dye imagewise and transferring the diffusible dye to an image-receiving material having a mordant with a solvent such as water. Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.Engl.22 (1983) 19

Photothermographic materials are known in the art, and the photothermographic materials and their processes are described, for example, in "Basics of Photographic Engineering", Non-silver Photographs, 1982, pages 242 to 255. It is described in. Regarding the heat-developable color light-sensitive material using the diffusion transfer method, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,500,626 and 4,483,914 are used.

In the above method, the developing temperature is high and the stability of the photosensitive material with time cannot be said to be sufficient. Therefore, there is a method of promoting development, lowering the development temperature, and simplifying the processing by heat-developing in the presence of a base or a base precursor and a small amount of water to transfer the dye, and JP-A-59-21844.

The inventors of the present invention have also studied the heat development diffusion transfer type color photosensitive material as described above. It has a drawback that the discrimination of each color changes with the change of the development temperature, and the color balance of the image is easily destroyed.

The color light-sensitive material of the present invention basically has a photosensitive silver halide, a dye-donating compound and a binder on a support. These components are often added to the same layer, but if they can react, they can be added separately to separate layers. For example, when a colored dye-donating compound is present in the lower layer of the silver halide emulsion, the reduction in sensitivity can be prevented.

In order to obtain a wide range of colors on the chromaticity diagram by using the three primary colors of yellow, magenta and cyan, a combination of at least three silver halide emulsion layers sensitive to different spectral regions is used. . For example, there are combinations of a blue-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer and a red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer, a red-sensitive layer and an infrared-sensitive layer. Each of the light-sensitive layers can take various arrangement orders known in ordinary color light-sensitive materials. Further, each of these photosensitive layers may be divided into two or more layers if necessary.

The photosensitive material can be provided with various auxiliary layers such as a protective layer, an undercoat layer, an intermediate layer, an antihalation layer and a back layer. Further, various filter dyes may be added to improve the color separation property.

The silver halide usable in the present invention may be any of silver chloride, silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chlorobromide, silver chloroiodide and silver chloroiodobromide. The silver halide emulsion used in the present invention may be either a surface latent image type emulsion or an internal latent image type emulsion. The internal latent image type emulsion is used as a direct reversal emulsion in combination with a nucleating agent or an optical fogging. Further, it may be a so-called core-shell emulsion in which the inside of the grain and the surface layer of the grain have different phases. The silver halide emulsion may be monodisperse or polydisperse, and monodisperse emulsions may be mixed and used. The particle size is preferably 0.1 to 2 μm, particularly preferably 0.2 to 1.5 μm.

The silver halide emulsion may be used in an unripened state, but is usually chemically sensitized before use. The known sulfur sensitizing method, reduction sensitizing method, noble metal sensitizing method and the like can be used alone or in combination in the emulsion for a conventional type light-sensitive material. These chemical sensitizations can be performed in the presence of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. (JP-A-62-253159).

These sensitizing dyes may be added to the emulsion at the time of chemical ripening or before or after the chemical ripening, or according to U.S. Pat.
