6 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATENTEDAPR 30 1914 FIGI %M (m/q LIGHT-SENSITIVE SUPER-SENSITIZED SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPHIC EMULSIONS This invention relates to a light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion.
The sensitive wave length area of a silver halide photographic emulsion is ordinarily an extremely limited short wave length region of ultraviolet rays or blue light. It is well known that the use of a certain class of cyanine dye compound is markedly effective for spectral sensitization of such silver halide emulsion. It is also well known that a combination of the said dye with a certain other sensitizing dye or an organic compound is added to a silver halide emulsion, whereby a sensitivity greater than the total sum of sensitivities of the individual compounds can be imparted to the emulsion. Such effect is called super additivity sensitization, and combinations of many compounds have already been reported. ln case such super additivity sensitization method is intended to be applied to a silver halide emulsion, particularly the lith-type emulsion, it is desirable that not only the increase in spectral sensitizing effect but also such requirements as mentioned below are satisfied.
l. The method should not deteriorate the characteristics of the lithtype emulsion which shows extremely high contrast.
2. The method should contribute to the improvement in quality of fine dots withoutdegrading the sharpness of the half tone image.
3. The method should not give dye stains and fog to the photographicfilm after development.
Further, the method is desired to give such effects to a panchromatic lith-type emulsion, which requires a sensitivity extending to a visible wave length region, particularly a red light-sensitive region, that both the green and blue light-sensitive regions are not desensitized, and a sharp and good dot quality can be displayed by development carried out for a relatively short period of time (2 to 3 minutes).
However, most of the conventional super additivity sensitization methods are directed to usual silver iodobromide emulsions for negative,'and a method applicable to high contrast lith-type silver chlorobromide emulsions is substantially nil. There is no method satisfying the aforesaid requirements as far as spectral sensitization extending particularly to the red light-sensitive region is intended. I
An object of the present invention is to provide a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material which has been subjected to super additivity sensitization satisfying the aforesaid requirements.
Another object of the invention is to provide a lightsensitive silver halide photographic material which has no detrimental interactions with co-existing photographic additives, and has stable photographic properties even when the emulsion is allowed to stand or a coating of said emulsion on a support'is stored over a long periodof time.
As the result of extensive studies, we havefound that when at least one compound of the belowmentioned general formula (I) is added to a silver halide emulsion in combination with at least one compound of the below-mentioned general formula (ll), not only the spectral sensitizing effect is greatly increased but also the aforesaid requirements are satisfied.
General Formula (I):
wherein R and R are individually an alkyl group or a substituted alkyl group such as hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl, sulfoalkyl, etc.; R is an alkyl group; Y and Y are individually a sulfur or selenium atom; V V V and V, are individually a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group or a halogen atom, provided that V, and V or V and V may bond to each other to form a benzene ring; X is an anion; and m is 0 or 1.
General Formula (II):
wherein R and R are individually an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group such as hydroxyalkyl, carboxalkyl, sulfoalkyl, etc., or an aryl group; Z is a nonmetallic atom grouping necessary to complete the heterocyclic ring, which is a benzoxazole, benzothiazole, benzoselenazole, thiazoline or pyrroline ring; and Q is a non-metallic atom grouping necessary to complete the heterocyclic ring, which is a rhodanine, 2- thiohydantoin or Z-thiooxazolidinedione ring.
In the above formulas, the alkyl group and the alkoxy group indicate a lower alkyl group and a lower alkoxyl group both having one to two carbon atoms, and preferable as the substituted alkyl group is, for example, a B-hydroxyethyl, carboxymethyl, B-carboxyethyl, fi-sulfoethyl, 'y-sulfopropyl or fi-sulfobutyl group.
The compound of the aforesaid general formula (I) is a thiaor selena-carbocyanine dye, and the compound of the aforesaid general formula (ll) is a dimethine-merocyanine dye. When these sensitizing dyes according to the present invention are used in combination with each other, there is obtained a mixed maximum sensitivity value which is different from maximum sensitivity values attained when the individual dyes are used singly, whereby optimum red and green sensitivities can be imparted to silver halide emulsions. That is, due to synergistic effect derived from specific combination of said compounds, the spectral sensitization is markedly enhanced over the red and green light region. Particularly when the combination is applied to a lithtype emulsion, which is used in a photographic material to be developed with an aldehyde-containing lithdeveloper (infections developer) containing hydroquinone as developing agent, there is attained such characteristic that a sharp dot image which is extremely high in contrast can be formed.
Concrete examples of the compounds represented by the aforesaid general formulas (l) and (II) are enumerated below, but compounds usable in the present invention are not limited to these.
By the way, the dye of the general formula (I) can be easily synthesized according to any of the processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,450,400 and 2,213,238, and British Patent Specification No.*-742,l l2, and the dye Examples of typical compounds of the general formula (ll) are as follows:
( HzlaCOOH A light-sensitive photographic material, which has been subjected according to the present invention to super additivity sensitization by use of the combination of the above-mentioned specific compounds, has such excellent characteristics as mentioned previously and is ideal in sensitivity. Thus, the combination of said compounds can impart excellent properties not only to lithtype light-sensitive materials but also to light-sensitive photographic materials containing silver chloride or silver chlorobromide emulsions.
The sensitizing dyes according to the present invention may be added, to a silver halide emulsion, either in the form of a solution, or individual solutions, in methanol, ethanol or the like organic solvent. These sensitizing dyes may be added to a silver halide emulsion at any time during the step of preparation of the emulsion, but is preferably added after completion of second ripening of the emulsion. The amounts of the dyes to be added vary depending on the kind of silver halide emulsion. Ordinarily, however, the total amount of the dyes of the formulas (I) and (ll) is within a wide r e. Qff Qm, 1 as to 0 ms, d h m xins retiq 0f the dye of the formula (I) to the dye of the formula (II) is preferably from 1:10 to 10:1 by weight.
The silver halide emulsion used in the present invention may be any of silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver bromide, silver iodobromide and silver chloroiodobromide emulsions. These emulsions may have been incorporated with noble metal sensitizers, sulfur sensitizers and the like sensitizers, or with polyalkylene oxide type compounds as contrast-improving agents. Further, the sensitizing dyes according to the present invention may be used in combination with other sensitizing dyes, e.g. cyanine dyes or merocyanine dyes, and may have been incorporated with stabilizers, hardeners, coating aids and the like photographic additives which are used in general.
The above-mentioned silver halide photographic emulsion containing the compounds used in the present invention is coated according to an ordinary procedure on a suitable support such as glass, cellulose triacetate base, polyester base or paper, and then dried to obtain a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material of the present invention.
The present invention is illustrated below with reference to example, but the examples are illustrative and do, of course, not limit the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE 2 According to the procedures of Example 1, the'combinations of exemplified compounds shown in Table 2 were individually added to the same emulsion as in Example l. A For comparison, control compounds (A) and (S) of the formulas shown below were individually added to the emulsion.
Control compound (A):

The results obtained were as As is clear from Table 2, the samples 10) to 13) are quite excellent in every one of speed, contrast and dot property as compared with the control sample. EXAM- PLE 3 Sample films prepared in the above manner were measured, in photographic properties in the cases where they were stored under high temperature and humidity conditions and in the cases were they were incubated spontaneously. The results obtained were as set forth in Table 3, in which the relative speeds are values of green and red light sensitivities in the cases where the samples were developed at 20C. for 3 minutes by means of a D-ll Developer (Eastman Kodak Go).
