Definitions

  • R and R which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group, an alkoxyalkyl group. a hydroxyalkyl group, a carboxyalkyl group, a sulphoalkyl group. an ally] group, an aralkyl group. or a substituted aralkyl group, L is a methine chain or a methine chain substituted by alkyl or aryl groups; 2 is an atomic group necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen containing heterocyclic nucleus; Q is an atomic group necessary to complete a 5- or 6- membered heterocyclic nucleus; m and p are individually (l. lor2; Xis ananionandn isOor I.
  • This invention relates to a silver halide photographic emulsion and, more particularly, a fogged direct positive photo graphic emulsion.
  • the overall sensitivity of a direct positive photographic emulsion is markedly raised by increasing the amount of sensitizing dye added thereto but, in many cases, the maximum density (D/max) and contrast are thereby decreased, often resulting in insufficient images.
  • This re-reversal depends on the method of preparation of a silver halide emulsion and more remarkably on the variety of sensitizing dye added. Accordingly, a sensitizing dye causing a large "re-reversal cannot be put to practical use as it is.
  • Q is an atomic group necessary to complete a fivemembered or six-membered heterocyclic nucleus, for example, rhodanines, oxazolido-S-on-Z-thiones, thiohydantoins, pyrazole-S-ones and tltiobarbituric acids, m and p are 0, l or 2.1: is an anion and n isO or 1.
  • FIG. I represents the characteristic curve of a photographic emulsion undergoing the re-reversal" phenomenon.
  • FIG. 2 represents the characteristic curves of photographic material containing no sensitizing dye, a conventional dye and the sensitizing dye of the present invention, respectively.
  • sensitizing dyes represented by the general formulas (I) or (II) are given below, and are merely illustrative, and not limiting, in nature.

  • Comparison Dye K It has already been disclosed in Japanese Patent publication No. 4l25/l968, US. Pat. No. 2,323,187 and French Patent No. l,520,822 that sensitizing cyanine dyes and merocyanine dyes are suitable for use to raise the spectral sensitivity of a direct positive silver halide photographic emulsion.
  • the photographic characteristics of reversal that is, spectral sensitivity, contrast, minimum density and re-reversal, differ with the variety of sensitizing dyes. This is unlike the spectral sensitization of the ordinary nonfogged emulsion. It is found that these photographic characteristics differ remarkably depend ing on the difference of structure, i.e., heterocyclic ring, or a sensitizing dye.
  • a direct positive silver halide photographic emulsion sensitized with a dye having at least one naphtho (2,3d) oxazole nucleus represented by the general formula (I) or (ll) has more excellent characteristics, such as higher sensitivity, less re-reversal and lower minimum density than an emulsion sensitized with a dye having no naphtho (2,3 d) oxazole nucleus, for example, benzoxazole, benzothiazole, naphtho (2,1 d) oxazole or naphtho (l,2) oxazole nucleus.
  • a high-sensitive direct positive silver halide photographic emulsion can be obtained by incorporating a sensitizing dye represented by the general formula (l) or (II) into a direct positive silver halide photographic emulsion.
  • the thus-sensitized emulsion is particularly suitable for use in the copying of documents.
  • a dye of the general formula (l) or (ll) is added to an emulsion in the form of a solution in a suitable solvent such as water, methanol or ethanol.
  • the amount of the dye to be added to a direct positive silver halide emulsion is substantially the same as in ordinary silver halide nonfogged emulsions, i.e., 0.5$0 mg. per kg. of the emulsion.
  • One or more of the dyes may be used.
  • Silver salts such as silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver chloroiodide, silver iodobromide and silver chloroiodobromide may be used as the emulsion in the present invention.
  • the emulsifying and physical ripening of the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention are carried out in a manner similar to that employed for ordinary emulsions but, before emulsifying or during the physical ripening, a salt of a Group VIII metal, such as iridium or rhodium, may be added thereto.
  • a salt of a Group VIII metal such as iridium or rhodium
  • the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention is fogged to its maximum density by light or by adding a chemical fogging agent thereto. Such a chemical fogging agent must fog the silver halide without attacking it. Ordinarily, thiourea dioxide, stannous chloride, formaldehyde, or hydrazine may be used.
  • the pH and pAg are controlled, as the occasion demands, and a solution of the dye of the present invention is then added to the emulsion with sufficient agitation and thencoated onto a support.
  • Ordinary additives such as coating aids and hardeners may be added to the emulsion.
  • the following may be employed as the support: glass, a cellulose derivative film, a synthetic resin film or baryta paper.
  • the developed material was fixed with an ordinary sodium thiosulfate-containing fixing solution, washed with water and dried. Measurement of the optical density was carried out by means of a densitometer. The results are shown in table 1.
  • the sensitivity is represented by a relative value of the reciprocal of the amount of exposure required for giving a density of from one to times the sensitivity of an emulsion to which no sensitizing dye is added.
  • a silver chloroiodobromide emulsion (iodine 1.0 mol. percent, bromine 30 mol percent) was fogged with hydrazine 3.
