Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A supersensitized light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion is obtained by incorporating in the emulsion a combination of two specific dyes having the general formulas I and II as indicated below.
  • This invention relates to light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsions supersensitized by joint use of two or more of spectral sensitizing cyanine dyes.
  • the sensitized spectral region of, for example, the red light-sensitive emulsion is preferably reduced in green light-sensitivity but increased in red light-sensitivity so that the best color reproduction may be obtained.
  • a color coupler when added, it is required that no decrease in spectral sensitivity due to the reaction with said color coupler be caused.
  • very few of the combinations among those known up to date satisfy the above conditions, in particular when they are added to color photographic material.
  • sensitizing cyanine dye shown by the general formula [I] or [ll] as given hereinafter in conjunction or that is use of a sensitizingcyanine dye in which at least one anion radical such as carboxyalkyl group, sulfoalkyl group and a functional group derived therefrom is contained as a substituent at the heterocyclic nitrogen atom remarkably increased color sensitivity and the conditions as aforementioned were entirely satisfied.
  • R,, R and R are each a lower alkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, carboxyalkyl group, sulfoalkyl group or functional group derived therefrom with the proviso that at least one of R and R is carboxyalkyl group, sulfoalkyl group or a group derived therefrom; R and R are each a lower alkyl group;
  • V is a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group or alkoxy group
  • V V are each a hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group, alkoxy group, and V, and V or V;, and V may form together a benzene ring or a ring including the methylenedioxy group;
  • the sensitive maximum wavelength of the light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion of this invention exists in the middle of sensitive maximum wavelengths of sensitizing dyes used alone, respectively. According to this invention, sensitization is possible over a broad wavelength region by varying the kind of sensitizing dyes and rate of amount to be added and therefore the most desirable sensitization is attainable in accordance with various purposes whether the sensitized emulsion is used for color photographic material or black and white photographic material. 7
  • spectral sensitization of a panchromatic emulsion is possible according to this invention by increasing green light sensitivity by effecting the supersensitization with the addition of a pseudocyanine, merocyanine, oxacarbocyanine or benzimidazolocarbocyanine dye.
  • Sensitizing dyes used in this invention maybe added to silver halide photographic emulsion in the form of a solution in an organic solvent readily miscible with water such as methanol etc. and at any stage of the preparation of the emulsion. In general, the addition is preferably made just after completion of the second ripening.
  • the amount of sensitizing dye to be added varies according to the kind of silver halide emulsion used, and it is generally suitable that the sum of the sensitizing dyes of the general formula [I] and the general formula [II] is 30-100 mg per kg of silver halide emulsion, where the sensitizing dye of the general. formula [II] is preferably 2,-70 percent of the total.
  • the above limitation-on quantity and quantitative ratio of sensitizing dye is, however, not critical but variable.
  • the silver halide emulsion used in this invention may be any of silver 'iodobromide-, silver chlorobromido-, silver chloroiodide', silver bromideand silver chloride emulsions.
  • These emulsions may be sensitized by a chemical sensitizer such as a noble metal-, sulfur-, reductionor polyalkylene oxide sensitizer and ordinary additives such as stabilizer, surfactant, hardening agent, etc. may be added to the emulsions.
  • a hydrophilic or oleophilic cyan coupler of incorporated type which forms cyan color may be contained in the emulsions.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A silver iodobromide emulsion containing 5 mol of silver iodide which has been treated with gelatin coagulant is subjected to the second ripening according to the ordinary manner. Immediately after completion of the second ripening, a 0.1 percent methanol solution of the sensitizing dyes of the general formulas [I] and [II] is added in the amount indicated in the Table I per kg of the emulsion. The emulsion thus treated is coated on a film supported and dried.
  • the resulting light-sensitive photographic material is exposed to light by means of a sensitometer KS-l (manufactured and sold by'Konishiroku Photo Industry Co., Ltd.) at Lux, 5400K, and thereafter treated with the developing solution having the following formulation for 5 minutes at 20C.:
  • spectral sensitivity of the supersen- 25 sitized emulsion according to this invention is remarkably int creased as compared with the case where each sensitizing dye From F above table, appareni that of is used alone.
  • the emulsion can be senmzmg y accordmg to F1115 Invention effecnve for sensitized over a broad wavelength region by varying the increasing relative speed to red light even in the presence of sitizing dye used and its amount.
  • the most desirable the color mcol'poratfafl f p as compared with the spectral sensitization is attainable in accordance with various comwlcombmauon ofihe sensitizing dyes and purposes whether the sensitized emulsion is used for color or Further from 'f relatlfe Speed to green llghtv black and white photographic materiap noted that the combination according to the PIESCI'lblnVfil'lIIOIl remarkably increases relative speed to red light, without the EXAMPLE 2 3 5 increase of relative speed to green light.
  • Such combination of sensitizing dyes is one desirable or sensitizing red light-sensitive emulsion of color photographic material and excellent color reproduction is attainable.
  • a high-speed silver iodobromide emulsion containing 5 mol of silver iodide is produced according to the neutral method.
  • 0.l percent methanol solution of the sensitizing dyes of the general-formulas [l] and [II] is added to the emulsion in the amount indicated in the Table 2 per kg of the emulsion.
