INVENTORS ATTORNEYS 1 DIRECT POSITIVE SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPIIIC EMULSION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION I. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic emulsion and especially to a direct positive sil ver halide photographic emulsion which is fogged previously.
2. Description of the Prior Art When silver halide photographic materials are exposed to light which includes rays in a range of a sensitizing wave length and developed, the silver densityincreases as the exposure amount increases and reaches to the maximum value. But when the exposure amount further increases, the silver density decreases again to form finally a positive image. Such phenomenon is called generally Solarization. The same inversion phenomenon as that caused by light is observed-in a silver halide which is fogged optically or chemically at preparation thereof.
It is known from U.S. Pat. No. 2,323,187 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 4125/68 that some increase of reversal sensitivity and expansion of a reversal sensitizing wave length range are observed when sensitizing dyes which show a sensitizing function to the common negative-positive type emulsion such as cyanine dyes are added.
It is an important technique in preparation of a direct positive photosensitive material having high sensitivity or a direct positive photosensitive material for color photography to increase further the spectral sensitivity of the direct positive emulsion which is spectrally sensiincreases by adding a compound represented by the following formula to the direct positive silver halide emulsion spectrally sensitized by a cyanine dye Formula (II) N N a M was-bat T km y N M wherein Y represents =CH or =N-, R R R, and R each represents a hydrogen atom, hydroxyl group, alkoxy group, aryloxy group (e.g. phenoxy group, 0- tolyoxy group, p-sulfophenoxy group and B-naphthoxy group), halogen atom (e.g. chlorine atom and bromine atom), heterocyclic nucleus (e.g. morpholinyl group and pyperidyl group), alkylthio group (e.g. methylthio group and ethylthio group), heterocyclylthio group (e.g. benzothiazylthio group), arylthio group (eLg. phenylthio group and tolylthio group), amino group, alkylamino group (eg. methyl-amino group, ethylamino group, propylamino group, dimethylamino group, di ethylamino group, dodecylamino group, cyclohexylamino group, B-hydroxyethylammo group, di-B- hydroxyethylamino group and ,B-sulfoethylamino group), arylamino group or substituted arylamino group (e.g. anilino group, o-sulfoanilino group, msulfoanilino group, p-sulfoanilino group, o-anisylamino group, m-anisylamino group, p-anisylamino group,'otoluidino group, m-toluidino group, p-toluidino group, o-carboxyanilino group, m-carboxyanilino group, pcarboxyanilino group, hydroxyanilino group, naph' thylamino group and sulfonaphthylamino group), heterocyclylamino group (e.g. 2-benzothiazoleamino group and Z-pyridylamino group), aryl group (e.g. phenyl group) and mercapto group, and -A- represents a group selected from the following -A,- and tized by the cyanine dyes.

Though emulsifying and physical ripening of the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention can be practiced by the same method as in the common emulsions, it is more effective to add salts of a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table, such as an iridium salt and a rhodium salt at precipitation or during physical ripening.
In case of sensitizing an emulsion containing a rhodium salt by cyanine dyes, more advantageous reversal 5 spectral sensitization is performed as compared with the case that an emulsion which does not contain a rhodium salt is sensitized by a combination of cyanine dyes and desensitizing compounds such as Pinakryptol yellow.
The technique of increasing the spectral sensitivity by using compounds represented by the formula (II) together with cyanine dyes can be applied to an emulsion in which rhodium salts are not used, by which further high sensitivity can be obtained as compared with the case of spectral sensitization by using only cyanine dyes.
0n the other hand, there is a disadvantage that addition of the cyanine dyes at sensitization of the direct positive silver halide emulsion causes increase of reinversion" and enhances the minimum density (D 1min), and consequently, satisfactory whiteness is not obtained sometimes. This phenomenon has a tendency to increase as the amount of the cyanine dyesincreases. lHlerein, re-inversion means the fact that the density increases again after the decrease thereof on the characteristic curve as shown by a dotted line in PK]. 1. although re-invers'ion depends upon a process for preparing the silver halide photographic emulsion, desensitizing compoundssuch as Pinacryptol yellow are effective for lowering re-inversion and the minimum density (D min). However, when Pinacryptol yellow coexists with a cyanine dye in the direct positive silver halide emulsion sensitized by the cyanine dye, there is a disadvantage that the reversal spectral sensitivity also decreases though the re-inversion and the minimum density (D min) is lowered. However, if the compounds represented by the formulatll) used in the present invention coexist with. cyanine dyes, not only is the reversal sensitivity increased but the re-inversion and the minimum density is lowered.
it is preferable usually that the cyanine dyes and the compounds represented by the formula (ll) are added for the cyanine dyes, methanol, ethanol and water are used. As the solvent for the compounds represented by the formula (ll), water, methanol and ethanol are used and, if desired, alkali such as caustic soda is added thereto.
An amount of the cyanine dyes added to the direct positive silver halide photographicemulsion is l-200 mg and preferably 10-100 mg per ll kg of the emulsion. An amount of the compounds represented by the formula (ll) is 5-2000 mg and preferably 10-1000 mg per 1 kg of the emulsion. A preferable ratio by weight of cyanine dyes to compounds (ll) is 125-1250.
As the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention, there are silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chloride bromide, silver chloride iodide, silver bromide iodide and silver chloride bromide iodide. The silver halides used in the present invention are fogged to the maximum density by light or a chemical fogging agent. The chemical fogging agent should fog the silver halides without having an adverse influence upon the emulsion. Such chemical fogging agents used include thiourea dioxide, stannous chloride, formaldehyde and hydrazine etc.
After the foggingoperation, the pH and pAg are, if desired, adjusted, and a solution of thecyanine dyes is added to the emulsion. Then a solution of the, compounds represented by the formula (ll) is added. After stirring well the solution is applied to a support. Any of the cyanine dyes and the compounds represented by the formula (ll) may precede at addition to the emulsion. A mixture of both of them may be added to the emulsion or may be added during ageing after rinsing. Additives usually used, such as a coating assistant and a hardener, may be added to the emulsion. Further, the direct positive emulsion of the present invention is effectively used together with color couplers. For example, couplers represented by the following structural formulae are used. All of these compounds are well to an emulsion as a solution respectively. As the solvent 40 known,
