Definitions

  • This invention relates to a spectrally sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion and more particularly to a super-sensitized silver halide emulsion containing at least one organic heterocyclic compound, having a high spectral sensitivity and a suitable spectral sensitivity distribution.
  • Spectral sensitivity is affected by the chemical structure of a sensitizing dye and by various properties of an emulsion, such as the halogen composition of the silver halide; crystal habit; crystal system; silver ion concentration; and the pH of the emulsion.
  • the spectral sensitivity is also affected by additives present in an emulsion, such as a stabilizer, an antifoggant, a coating agent, a floculating agent, agents for modifying the physical properties of a film. In many cases, the spectral sensitivity of the film is lowered thereby.
  • a further technique has been known for making a light-sensitive material wherein two or more sensitizing dyes, or a sensitizing dye and an organic heterocyclic compound, are used in combination.
  • two or more sensitizing dyes, or a sensitizing dye and an organic heterocyclic compound are used in combination.
  • a spectral sensitivity which is lower than either individual component. This is known as antisensitization.
  • the spectral sensitivity obtained by the use of a sensitizing dye in combination with one or more sensitizing dyes or organic heterocyclic compounds is superadditively" increased, much beyond the results obtained by the use of a single sensitizing dye. This is known as supersensitization.
  • a multilayer color light-sensitive material for subtractive color processes comprises a blue-sensitive emulsion layer, green-sensitive emulsion layer and red-sensitive emulsion layer.
  • the distribution of the spectral sensitivity of emulsion layer is the main factor in determining the color reproducing character of the color light-sensitive material. It is required that a green-sensitive emulsion layer have a sensitivity which is as high as possible, that the maximum spectral sensitivity not occur in the long wavelengths and that a high spectral sensitivity be present only in the green region.
