  • V V V and V are individually a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group or a halogen atom, or 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, and at least one compound of the general formula (ll),
  • R and R are individually an alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl or sulfoalkyl group or an aryl group;

  • Q is a non-metallic atom grouping necessary to complete the heterocyclic ring, which is a rhodanine, 2-thiohydant0in or 2-thiooxazolidinedione ring.
  • 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.
  • the method should not deteriorate the characteristics of the lithtype emulsion which shows extremely high contrast.
  • the method should contribute to the improvement in quality of fine dots withoutdegrading the sharpness of the half tone image.
  • the method should not give dye stains and fog to the photographicfilm after development.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Q is a non-metallic atom grouping necessary to complete the heterocyclic ring, which is a rhodanine, 2- thiohydantoin or Z-thiooxazolidinedione ring.
  • 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.

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.

To each emulsion were added, either independently or in combination, methanol solutions of the exemplified compounds shown in Table 1. This emulsion was sufficiently stabilized by stirring at about 40C. for 20 minutes, and then incorporated with a suitable amount of a polyalkylene oxide derivative as a contrast-imparting agent, and with a hardener, a stabilizer and a coating aid. Thereafter, the emulsion was coated on a film base, and then dried to obtain a panchromatic lith-type lightsensitive material.
