Field of the Invention 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.
2. Description of the Prior Art it is well known that in making a photographic light-sensitive material a sensitizing dye is added to a silver halide photographic emulsion to thereby expand its spectral wavelength region towards the long wave length side, i.e., a spectral sensitizing technique is perfonned.
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. In such a combination, there is often obtained a spectral sensitivity which is lower than either individual component. This is known as antisensitization. In certain special cases, however, 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.
It is also well known that the selection of the materials for such combinations of sensitizing dyes and organic heterocyclic compounds is critical, since supersensitization is markedly affected by a slight difference in the chemical structure of components. Thus, a suitable combination of a sensitizing dye or organic heterocyclic compound having a supersensitization effect is not predictable from chemical structural formula alone. An important problem is spectral sensitizing techniques is to find suitable combinations of sensitizing dyes and organic heterocyclic compounds which will give a supersensitizing action.
Ordinarily, 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. In the case of a multilayer color light-sensitive material for use in subtractive color process (used in cameras in particular), 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. It is known that, for example, 5,5 '-6,6- tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyane (represented by the general formula I) shows a strong maximum in its spectral sensitivity based upon the J-absorption band at 583-585 millimicrons. However, this is not preferred from the angle of color reproduction.
In the case of a red-sensitive emulsion layer, it must lower the spectral sensitivity in the green region while raising the spectral sensitivity in the red region, because a panchromatic sensitizing dye is generally used. Moreover, the maximum wavelength of the spectral sensitivity is preferably not at the longer wavelength side, for example, longer than 670 millimicrons. The requirement of a red-sensitive emulsion is to have a high spectral sensitivity in the narrow red region.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A silver halide photographic emulsion comprising at least one sensitizing dye represented by general formula 1:
wherein Z and Z, are atoms necessary to complete a heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of a benzimidazole ring, a benzothiazole ring, a naphthothiazole ring and a benzoselenazole ring; R and R are a member selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, a monovalent aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon group and an aralkyl group; R is a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and an alkyl group, said R being a hydrogen atom when Z and Z, are atoms forming benzimidazole ring; and X, is an anion group and at least one organic heterocyclic compound selected from the formulas represented by general formula ll and I], wherein general formula II is:
wherein Z, is the atoms necessary to complete a heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of a benzimidazole ring and a naphthoimidazole ring; R, is a member selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted alkyl group. a substituted alkyl group, a monovalent aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon group and an aralkyl group; R is a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and an alkylene group necessary to complete a ring when R and R, are bonded to form the ring; and A is a member selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted phenyl group and a substituted phenyl group and general formula III is wherein X is an anion group and A, 2;, R and R have the same meaning as in general formula II.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a spectral sensitizing technique whereby the spectral sensitization of an ortho-chromatic sensitizing dye can be raised in a sufficiently narrow green region, while the spectral sensitization of a panchromatic sensitizing dye can be raised in sufficiently narrow red region.
