Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic material, and more particularly, to a high-sensitivity silver halide photographic material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, great efforts have been made to increase the sensitivity of silver halide photographic materials. Also,
In particular, high sensitivity of spectrally sensitized silver halide photographic materials has been strongly desired. Spectral sensitization technology is a very important and essential technology for producing a photosensitive material having high sensitivity and excellent color reproducibility. The spectral sensitizer has a function of absorbing light in a long wavelength range, which is essentially not absorbed by the silver halide photographic emulsion, and transmitting the light to the silver halide. Therefore, an increase in the amount of light supplemented by the spectral sensitizer is advantageous for increasing photographic sensitivity. For this reason, attempts have been made to increase the amount of light captured by increasing the amount of addition to the silver halide emulsion. However, attempts have been made to increase the amount of light trapped by increasing the amount added to silver halide. However, if the addition amount of the spectral sensitizer to the silver halide emulsion exceeds the optimum amount, a large desensitization is brought about. This is generally referred to as dye desensitization, and is a reduction that causes desensitization in a photosensitive region unique to silver halide, which has substantially no light absorption by a sensitizing dye. If the dye desensitization is large, the overall sensitivity will be low although there is a spectral sensitizing effect. In other words,
As the dye desensitization decreases, the spectral sensitivity increases accordingly. Therefore, in spectral sensitization technology, improvement of dye desensitization is a major problem.

[0003] In addition, T. Tani et al.
Journal of Physica
As described in Chemistry, Vol. 94, p. 1298 (1990), it is known that a sensitizing dye having a reduction potential nobler than -1.25 v has a low relative quantum yield of spectral sensitization. I have. In order to increase the relative quantum yield of the spectral sensitization of such dyes, the “Theory of the Photogragh process”
Phonic Process) pp. 259-265 (1966), super sensitization by hole capture has been proposed.

A compound having a lower oxidation potential than a sensitizing dye may be used in combination as a supersensitizer for eliminating the above desensitization. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,313,922
No. 2,075,046 and 2,448,858
No. 2,680,686; British Patent No. 1,230,
No. 449, Belgian Patent No. 771,168 and the like are known. However, the effect of increasing the sensitivity by these methods is insufficient, and there has been a demand for further increasing the sensitivity.
