Definitions
- This invention relates to photography and more particularly to novel photographic film units and materials, and methods for utilizing such film units and materials.
- a preferred form of the present invention relates to improvements over the novel photographic film units and processes disclosed in my copendin-g application Serial No. 576,254 filed February 5, 1945, for Photographic Process, Apparatus and Product, now abandoned. It is, however, not limited to use with such processes or films.
- the principal object of the present invention is to provide photographic materials and processes which enable the production of a positive image having increased contrast, gamma and stability.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a photographic image having a pH varying in accordance with the density of said image, said pH being high in the shadows and low in the highlights.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a composite photographic film unit comprising a photosensitive layer, an image-carrying layer and a container having therein a liquid composition, said liquid composition comprising a solvent for a developer and an alkali, said film unit having therein a developer and an alkali, said imagecarrying layer having associated therewith a substance capable of reducing the alkalinity of said image-carrying layer when said liquid composition is spread in contact therewith.
- Another object of the invention is to provide in a photographic process of the type wherein a layer of photosensitive material is treated with a liquid composition, including a developer, and a positive image is created by transferring image forming components from said layer to another layer, the improvement which comprises increasing the contrast and gamma of said image by forming said image in thepresence of a sub stance capable of reducing the alkalinity of said image in the highlights thereof.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a photographic process which comprises treating a layer of exposed photosensitive material with an alkaline liquid composition contain ing a developer, an alkali, and a substance capa ble of forming image-forming components with nents to another layer and creating on said other layer a positive image having dense blacks and clear highlights by reacting said image-forming components. with said alkaline liquid composition and preventing the oxidation of any excess developer in the area of said highlights by reducing the alkalinity of said liquid composition in the area of said highlights to a point where oxidation of said developer does not occur.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a photographic sheet material capable of acting as a carrier for a final positive image when formed into a permeable assembly with an undeveloped exposed photosensitive layer and permeated with a liquid composition containing a solvent, a developer, a material for forming positive image-forming components and a film-forming material, said sheet material having associated therewith a substance capable of reacting with said film-forming material to form therewith compounds less soluble in water than said film-forming material.
- a composite photographic film unit having a photosensitive layer and another layer.
- the other layer may serve several functions.
- a preferred example it acts as a backing layer topermit the spreading of. a liquid composition in a layer parallel to the photosensitive layer and it also performsthe additional function of serving as a carrier for the final positive image.
- it serves only either one of these functions or merely acts to carry certain of the reactive ingredients.
- This layer is referred to as an image-carrying layer. Between these two layers there is included a rupturable container or pod having therein a liquid composition.
- This composition is preferably viscous, preferably alkaline and preferably contains therein a developer and a film-forming material.
- the liquid composition also preferably contains a substance which will react with the unexposed portions of the photosensitive layer to form therewith soluble image-forming complexes.
- the viscous developing composition tion of the film-forming substance which, dur- I 3 ing the processing of the film, is converted from a fluid to a solid.
- the positive image-forming complexes are transferred from the photosensitive layer to, the image-receiving layer, where the positive image is formed.
- the photosensitive layer is next preferably stripped from the imagereceiving layer to reveal the finished positive image.
- the present invention deals primarily with the improvement of the above process and product by increasing the stability, contrast and gamma of the resultant image and the insolubility and dimensional stability of the formed film.
- the present invention is not limited to use with-the above product or process, however.

- the image-carrying layer H2 in a'preferred embodiment. of the invention, :is Iformed of a photographic material, known in .the artasbaryta paper, although it can be made .of other substances.
- This layer is preferably pern eableto a substance contained in the liquid composition and may also be manufactured from other sub stances such as gelatin or paper.
- the liquid composition in its preferred embodiment, is composed of a developer such as hydroquinone, a film-forming substancefsuch as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and a substance adapted to form from a latent photographic image a posi- V tive image-forming component.
- a developer such as hydroquinone
- a film-forming substancef such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
- a substance adapted to form from a latent photographic image a posi- V tive image-forming component is sodium thiosulfate.
- a preservative i. e. sodium sulfite
- alkali i. e. sodium hydroxide
- Example #1 The following substances are put in a beaker.
- the above mixture isstirred in a closed mixer 7 having a nitrogen atmosphere over the. liquid therein, and the temperature is raised to 178 F.
- the mixture is maintained at this temperature for approximately 3% hours.
- 2.5 grams of sodium-tliiosulfate are added to the above, mixture.
- grams of hydroquinone are'adde'dto the mixture; 237 cc. of water are I then added to the mixture sometime before the completion'of the '3 /zhour heating period.
- preservatives and alkalies may be used, and other substances such as restrainers may beadded.
- the photosensitive layer isexposed; to ia'ctinic' light a Ell and, without further exposure to light, the whole assembly is subjected to a mechanical stress such as by passing through a wringer, not shown, starting with the hinge end 14.
- a mechanical stress such as by passing through a wringer, not shown, starting with the hinge end 14.
- the container [3 is ruptured and the liquid composition is uniformly spread between the photosensitive layer H and the image-carrying layer i2.
- the developer develops the latent photographic image and the sodium thiosulfate dissolves the unexposed silver halide grains and carries them into the image-receiving layer, being formed by the solidification of the film-forming substance contained in the liquid composition.
- These unexposed silver halide grains are then developed and formed into a positive image. While this process is in operation stated above, the filmforming substance, i. e. the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, is being solidified into a dimensionally stable film,
- imagecarrying layer I2 is coated with a solution of a lead salt such as lead acetate,,ancl the solvent is allowed to evaporate, leaving within and upon the surface of the layer 12 a precipitate of lead acetate.
- a lead salt such as lead acetate,,ancl the solvent is allowed to evaporate, leaving within and upon the surface of the layer 12 a precipitate of lead acetate.
- the lead acetate is taken into solution by a solvent (water) in the liquid composition, and substantially improves and increases the contrast, gammaand stability of the final positive image. It whitens the highlights and increases the density of the shadows.
- the lead acetate remarkably increases the con trast and gamma of the positive image produced in the image-receiving layer, although it is not completely understood how this effect is accomplished. There are certain observed conditions which would explain this improvement of the positive image, but the reason for the existence of these conditions is not readily ascertainable from a theoretical analysis of the various reactions.
- the positive image formed in the presence of lead acetate has very much denser blacks than a positive image formed under exactly the same circumstances wherein lead acetate is not used. This intensification of blacks is believed to be caused by an increase in the amount and size of the silver grains forming the positive image. A remarkable increase in intensification is provided by the use of lead salts generally and lead acetate in particular. It is believed that the lead reaction with the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose changes the character of the film being formed to such an extent that the'silver formed therein is formed in larger grain sizes, whereby a greater density is achieved, and less scattering of light results.
- lead acetate is used as the insolubilizing agent.
- This lead salt seems to be particularly efficient for accomplishing the results mentioned above and is quite easily usable since it is soluble in water.
- a preferred method of incorporating the lead acetate in the image-carrying layer I2 is as follows:
- hydroxide which apparently dissolves the lead tartrate and: forms therewith insoluble compoundsmore slowly than the other elements of the. combination: thus the lead is in ionic conditionfor reaction with the other elements of the composition.
- lea'dsalts such as lead nitrate, lead bromide lead chlorate, lead perchlorate, lead .citrate,;lead. isobutyrate, lead peroxydisulfate,'or lead dithionatemay be used inthe practice-of.-the present invention.
- the lead salts may. be used singly or jointly; for example, excellent results have' been'obtained with an image-carryi inglayer firsttcoatedwith lead acetate'and'then with leadenitrate.
- Someoithese .leadsalts areinsoluble in Water but solublein other substances. If those solvents are-not normally included in the liquid composition, they-areadded so that the'liquid composi tion will dissolve the lead salt. If it is undesirable to include-this solvent-in combination with the other-elements of the liquid composition for too long a time, a separate container is included ton-carry the solvent;
- Zinc acetate 'frnay.. also be usedfor whitening:
- aleadsalt out of contact with eitherthe photosensitivelayer orthe support layer.
- the leadjsalt hasa coagulating effect. upon. some .,of the film-forming. materials used in'the present invention, it. is preferred in this embodiment of theinvention. to have the lead salt and a.solvent1thereforcontained in a separate container or.pod.. A means for. accom-,.
- a. separate container. I?) may be placed immediately; adjacent the container l3 carrying .the liquid .composition.
- thelead salt solution is re-. leasediand is spread,along with the liquidlcoma position, between-the photosensitive layer and.
- Another;v though" less preferred, method of practicing; the present invention -.is to. have oer-r tainof thegmaterials'which are preferably included .in' the-liquid composition-placed elsewherein sthefilm units. For instance, it is;pos: sible to deposit thedeveloper andhypoin solid; form on the iInage-carryingz layer; In this.” a
- the. container might have therein only water or' an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
- a This sheet can be placed between the photosensitive layer II and the image-carrying layer 12.
- Thelayer l2 has thereon an insolubilizing agent such as lead acetate.
- the container has only therein a solvent, such as water, for the various materials incorporated into the extruded sheet. When the water is spread in contact with this extruded sheet, it dissolves the sheet and the remainder of the process is the same as that discussed in connection with Fig. 1.
- One advantage of this last-mentioned modification is that it eliminates the necessity for a liquid container and in this case the film unit may be processed by merely wetting it in a water bath until a sufficient amount of water has been absorbed by the film unit to give the desired concentrated solution of the reactive materials.
