Definitions

  • This invention relates to a color-photographic material with different superimposed layers.
  • photographic multilayer materials have been described in which the dye necessary for the formation of the image is present before the exposure in at least one of the light-sensitive layers. Not only does this dye build up the finished image but it also acts Y as a lter dye in that it transmits only those light rays that are to form a latent image in the layer itself and those light rays that might be required for the exposure of a layer lying behind, while simultaneously screening the layer in which it is present against the actionof certain rays of light.
  • the yellow dye in the red sensitive layer of the material described in U. S. Patent No. 1,985,344 dated December 25, 1934 protects this layer from the eiect of the' blue light.
  • the yellow, dye protects the green sensitive layer from the blue light
  • the yellow dye present in the infrared sensitive middle layer acts as a protective lter limiting the eiect of the exposure to blue light to the two outer layers.
  • the present invention has for one of its bjects the improvement of the color separation of the individual color selection images. achieved by using emulsions which show large sensitivity differences among each other with respect to that light for which the sensitivities of the layers overlap each other.
  • the color photographic multilayer material according to the present invention comprises at least one colored (Cl.
  • this yellow layer is produced from the emulsion of least sensitivity. Therefore, thle least sensitive emulsion is dyed in this case with a yellow dye which is resistant to the usual photographic treatment baths but can be locally destroyed in proportion to the developed silver image, by a process of the kind described in U. S. Patent No. 2,020,775 dated November12, 1935.
  • This yellow-dyed emulsion is sensitized for green, red or infra-red light by ⁇ adding the sensitizing dyes known for this purpose.
  • the sensitivity of the yellow layer thus obtained is considerably less than the blue sensitivity of the other layers in view of vthe small inherent sensitivity of the emulsion. Accordingly if, for example, the multilayer material is exposed to the white light of a half-watt bulb the blackeningthereby obtained in the ⁇ yellow emulsion sensitive for green or red light is considerably less than the blackening simultaneously obtained by the same light in the other layer formed by a blue sensitive emulsion whose inherent sensitivity is very much greater than the inherent sensitivity of the emulsion used for producing the yellow-dyed emulsion layer.
  • the blue sensitivity of the yellow-dyed layer is so small on account of the choice of the weakly sensitive emulsion and, on account of the addition of the yellow dye, is
  • the material described is, however, especially suitable for the production of prints.
  • the full sensitivity of the emulsions can be utilised i to the fullest advantage and the individual component images can be obtained in the individual layers with an equal or a balanced blackening ifthe low sensitivity of the yellow-dyed layer is equalised by means of stronger exposure or if a printing light is used in which those rays of light. are predominant by which only the weakly sensitive layer is affected.
  • the material has the advantage of allowing a very sharp color separatori between the individual layers, as the printing light used for the outer layers can not aiect even the surface of the layer lying behind.
  • the gradation diierences of the various layers can be taken into ⁇ account by using a printing master or masters that individually are adapted to the gradation of each printing layer.
  • the dyes are properly chosen in spite of the diierent gradation of the silver images, all of the dye images in the various layers can be made to show substantially the same gradation.
  • the methods of the local dye destruction described in prior patents for example in Patent No. 2,020,775 dated November 12, 1935, are especially suitable.
  • an acid thiocarbamide solution or an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution can be used.
  • Example-As shown in the drawing three silver bromide gelatine emulsion layers I, 2 and 3 are arranged upon one or upon both sides of thel transparent support 4.
  • the middle layer 2 which is to receive the print of the blue colorsensation record is prepared from an emulsion which in comparison ⁇ to the two emulsions used for the other layers has an inherent blue sensitivity which is about 116th of the inherent blue sensitivity of these other emulsions.
  • the emulsion used for the middle layer 2 is an unripened silver bromide gelatine emulsion
  • the emulson used for the other two layers is a ripened emulsion.
  • the unripened emulsion is dyed with Chrysophenine G (Schultz Farbstofftabellen, Leipzig 1931, r1th edition, volume 1, No. '726) and 1.2 gram of the dyestuil
  • the emulsion is also treated with triphenylguanidine lactate in order to bring the yellow dyestuff into the insoluble form.
  • the emulsion further contains erythrosine as a sensitizer for green.
  • the two outer layers l and 3 are not especially sensitized and therefore have only their inherent blue sensitivity. One of these layers, i. e.
  • l which is to receive the print of the red color sensation record, may be dyed with a blue-green dyestui as Pontamine Sky Blue 6 B (Schultz Farbstofftabellen l. c. No. 510), the other one, i. e. 3 which is to receive the print of the green color sensation record, may be dyed with a magneta dye, such as Tuchechtbrillantrot 2 B (Schultz Farbstoitabellen, Leipzig 19327th edition, volume 2, page 221) or Chloraminbrillantrot 8 B (Schultz Farbstoitabellen, Leipzig 1931, 7th edition, volume 1, No. 425).
