Definitions

  • Photographic elements are provided which feature a support having coated thereon a first photographic silver halide emulsion layer containing image-forming coupler and development inhibitor-releasing coupler; and, a second silver halide emulsion layer containing photographic image forming coupler, the second layer having a faster effective speed sensitivity than the first layer.
  • Such elements have high contrast for faint images and an extended latitude of low contrast for bright images.
  • PI-IOTOGRAPI-IIC ELEMENT INCLUDING SUPERIMPOSED SILVER HALIDE LAYERS OF DIFFERENT SPEEDS
  • This invention relates to photographic elements, and more particularly to the photographic elements having wide exposure latitudes.
  • Photographic elements having wide exposure latitudes have previously been provided by coating fast and slow silver halide emulsion layers onto a support See, for example, Beach British Patent 774,655 (published 1957) and Millikan British Patent 1,021,564 (published 1966). While such elements are highly useful for the purposes intended, they exhibit deficiencies when utilized in certain applications. In some instances, it is desirable to provide photographic elements having a high contrast for faint images and a long latitude of low contrast for bright images. Such elements would record images of vastly different intensities without the stronger image flaring' or spreading so much that it obliterates the fainter image.
  • the prior art fails to teach how to obtain a photographic element which produces high contrast and high speed for faint images and low contrast with extended latitude for bright images.
  • Prior art films have utterly failed in satisfactorily recording the faint image produced upon initial entry of an orbiting satellite into the earth's atmosphere.
  • the image of the faint satellite upon initial reentry could not be measured because its image was obliterated by the flare produced by the stronger image of the burning satellite in the lower atmosphere.
  • the amount of flare produced by the stronger image of the burning satellite has been used to measure indirectly the path and brightness of the satellite on initial stages of reentry.
  • One object of this invention is to provide novel photo graphic elements which have wide exposure latitude.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide photographic elements which exhibit low image spread over the useful expo sure latitude.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide photographic elements which exhibit high contrast when exposed to faint images; and, low contrast and wide latitude when exposed to bright images having a dark background.
  • novel photographic elements comprising a support having coated thereon a first photographic silver halide emulsion layer containing (l) nondiffusible photographic coupler which forms image dye and (2) a development inhibitor-releasing coupler; and, a second photographic silver halide emulsion layer containing nondiffusible photographic coupler which forms image dye, said second layer having a faster effective speed sensitivity than said first layer.
  • the development inhibitor-releasing coupler in the slower image-recording layer effectively extends exposure latitude and reduces contrast.
  • Such photographic elements have wide exposure latitude, and are capable of recording images of vastly different intensity in close geometrical proximity with minimal image spread.
  • Photographic elements in accordance with this invention exhibit excellent sharpness. They produce high-contrast records of faint images and low-contrast records of bright images.
  • a photographic element is provided as described above which contains a nonimage-forming, light-diffusing silver halide emulsion layer positioned between the support and the silver halide emulsion layers. Photographic elements in accordance with this embodiment of the invention exhibit reduced image spread.
  • an antihalation layer is provided between the support and the image recording layers
  • the fast and slow silver halide emulsion image recording 0 layers utilized in the photographic elements of this invention can comprise any suitable silver halide, such as silver bromide, silver iodide, silver chloride, or mixed halides such as silver bromoiodide or silver chlorobromide.
  • the silver halide grains in the image-recording layers can be spectrally sensitized, for example when it is desired to expose the elements to radiation longer than blue radiation.
  • the silver halide grains of each image-recording layer are panchromatically sensitized. Any of the dyes suggested in the prior art for spectrally sensitizing silver halide can be used in the practice of this invention.
  • the silver halide grains used in the image recording layers are advantageously negative, developing-out silver halide grains.
  • the optimum speeds of the image-recording layers will depend upon the various uses to which the elements are put. Preferably, the speed sensitivity of the two layers overlaps. Good results are obtained when the effective speed of the slower image-recording layer is about 0.6 Log E to about 1.2 Log E slower than the fast image-recording layer. It is desirable that the faster silver halide emulsion layer have a detection capability in the region of about 5 quanta per square micron.
  • the elements exhibit an exposure latitude of about 10 over the reliable exposure latitude.
  • the effective speeds of the emulsion layers can be regulated in any convenient manner, such as by use of silver halides of different grain size, chemical sensitizcrs, concentration of photographic coupler, etc.
  • the fast and slow image-recording layers can be contiguous. Either the slow or the fast imagc-recording layers may be coated closest to the support, with the other emulsion layer coated thereover. In preferred embodiments, the slower emulsion layer is coated closest to the support, with the fast emulsion layer being coated thereover.
