Definitions

  • This invention relates to a spectrally sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion and particularly to a silver halide photographic emulsion supersensitized by a combination of two kinds of sensitizing dyes. More particularly, the invention relates to a supersensitized greensensitive silver halide photographic emulsion for color photographic materials.
  • the spectral sensitization depends upon the chemical structure of the sensitizing dye and various properties of the silver halide emulsion employed, such as the halogen composition, the crystal habit, the crystal system, the silver ion concentration, and the hydrogen ion concentration of the silver halide emulsion.
  • the spectral sensitization is further influenced by photographic additives incorporated in the photographic emulsion, such as a stabilizer, an antifoggant, a wetting agent, a precipitant, a color coupler, etc.
  • a combination of two or more kinds of sensitizing dyes is used.
  • the spectral sensitivity obtained is lower than the sensitivity obtained with the separate use of each of the sensitizing dyes.
  • the spectral sensitivity obtained by such a combination of sensitizing dyes is in an increased super additive manner by employing a combination of a specific sensitizing dye and one or more other specific sensitizing dyes. This phenomenon is known as supersensitization.
  • the sensitizing dyes to be used as a combination thereof for supersensitization must be quite carefully selected.
  • the sensitizing dyes used in the case of applying supersensiti- "Ice zation to a silver halide photographic emulsion must also have no harmful co-action with other photographic additives and must have stable photographic properties even during the preservation of photographic light-sensitive materials which contain such dyes.
  • Some photographic additives when added to a silver halide photographic emulsion, decrease the spectral sensitivity thereof, and examples of such additives are anionic compounds such as light-absorbing dyes having an anionic group, e.g., a sulfo group; gelatin precipitants having an anionic group, e.g., a sulfo group or carboxyl group; and couplers for color photographic materials.
  • anionic compounds such as light-absorbing dyes having an anionic group, e.g., a sulfo group
  • gelatin precipitants having an anionic group, e.g., a sulfo group or carboxyl group
  • couplers for color photographic materials.
  • the change of spectral sensitivity when a. supersensitizing combination of dyes is present with a magenta coupler in the emulsion is important.
  • Sensitizing dyes are further required to leave no color stain in the photographic light-sensitive materials after development.
  • a sensitizing dye leaves color stains in the image-bearing emulsion layers and/or subsidiary layers (intermediate layers, etc.,) or on the developed and fixed support.
  • Such a harmful influence due to remaining dyes must be corrected by photographic means used in the photo-engraving process, such as a color masking method, and such a color correction is particularly troublesome in the case of a lithographic photographic negative which must have a light grey color.
  • This effect of the remaining dyes is also undersirable in photographic papers since in the case of black and white photographic papers a bright white color is not obtained, and in the case of color photographic papers true color reproduction becomes impossible.
  • a yellow or magenta color (or a yellow or magenta dye) dye remains other difliculties occur, e.g., when a part of a finished photograph is exposed to sun light the dyes at that portion are bleached by the sun light, which results in a partially bleached and partially colored image. Consequently, in the case of sensitizing photographic emulsions using sensitizing dyes, it is important to prevent the sensitizing dyes from remaining in the finished photographic paper, lithographic film, or other photographic film or plate.
  • the sensitizing dyes used are also required to give a spectrally sensitive region sufiiciently stable to a safe light which is is used in processing light-sensitive materials.
  • a safe light having a maximum percent transmission at about 570-620 m is generally used. Therefore, the long wave length side of the spectrally sensitive region of a greensensitive emulsion layer thus sensitized has usually been sharply cut so that the emulsion layer is stable under the safe light. If this is not done, fog is formed by the action of the safe light to cause stains on the finished photography.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide photographic emulsion supersensitized by a combination of sensitizing dyes which leave less residual dyes or colors in the finished photographic product.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a silver halide photographic emulsion supersensitized by a combination of sensitizing dyes, the special sensitivity of which is not reduced during the storage of the silver halide emulsion thus sensitized, as well as during storage of photographic light-sensitive materials having layers of the silver halide emulsions thus sensitized, even when the silver halide emulsion or emulsion layer further contains compounds with one or more anionic group(s), such as a gelatin precipitant (as set forth in US.

  • Typical examples of the oxacarbocyanine dye used in this invention are shown below for purposes of illustration. However, the sensitizing dyes used in this invention v are not limited thereto.
  • the first feature of this invention is that a better supersensitization eifect is obtained using a combination of the benzimidazolo.oxacarbocyanine dye represented by general formula (I) and the oxacarbocyanine dye represented by general formula (II).

  • the second feature of this invention is that when a combination of the sensitizing dyes of this invention is used, the residual color or dyes based on the sensitizing dyes in the processed photographic elements are lessened.
  • sensitizing dyes where all of the nitrogen atoms of the heterocyclic ring have been substituted by lower alkyl groups such as the comparison dyes A and B shown below, tend to leave a large amount of color stain or residual dyes in the processed photosensitive elements.

  • the amount of color stain or residual dye is extremely low.
  • the sensitizing dye of general formula (II) also gives very low color stain. Accordingly, a combination of both types of sensitizing dyes gives a silver halide photographic emulsion having a very low degree of color stain.

  • a sensitizing dye having a nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring which is substituted by an alkyl group having a sulfo group or an alkyl group having a carboxy group gives, when present together with a color coupler, a high sensitivity.
  • the sensitizing dyes represented by general formula (I) or the sensitizing dyes represented by general formula (II) have almost no spectral sensitizing effect when these sensitizing dyes are used individually with a color coupler. Therefore, it is quite astonishing that when a combinaton of sensitizing dyes represented by the general formula (I) and general formula (II) is used with a color coupler, a high spectral sensitivity is obtained.
  • the fourth feature of this invention is that when a combination of the aforesaid senstizing dyes of this invention is used together with a coupler for color photographic elements in a silver halide emulsion the spectral sensitivity of the silver halide emulsion thus sensitized is not substantially reduced during storage of the silver halide emulsion or during storage of photosensitive elements containing such a silver halide emulsion.
