Definitions
- a multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive material characterized in that a merocyanine dye having the following general formula 1 wherein X is selected from the group consisting of a sulfur atom, a selenium atom, an oxygen atom, and
- each of R,, R and R is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group a substituted alkyl group, an aryl group, and a substituted aryl group; and wherein Z represents an atomic group necessary to complete a heterocyclic ring, which may be substituted, is incorporated in at least one layer of the muIti-layer type color photographic light-sensitive material, said multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive material having on a support at least two silver halide photographic emulsion layers is disclosed.
- the present invention relates to a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material showing improved color contrast due to the interimage effect.
- the dye formed by the reaction of the oxidation product of an aromatic primary amino color developing agent and a color former or a coupler has the property of absorbing to some extent light other than that to be absorbed. For instance, a magenta dye absorbs blue light and red light to some extent'in addition to the green light to be absorbed. Similarly, a yellow dye and cyan dye absorb to some extent light other than blue light and red light respectively. This undesirable and unnecessary absorption by the dye tends to creasing this interimage effect is not well known.
- the reduction of the saturation of color by this unnecessary absorption of the dye may be improved-to some extent by the inter-image effect.
- the interimage effect is a phenomenon wherein the formation of a dye image in one photographic emulsion layer influences the formation of the dye image in other photographic emulsion layers in a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material. With the interimage effect the color contrast can be increased.
- the interimage effect increasing the color contrast can be explained as follows.
- a silver halide emulsion sensitive to red light and designed to give an image of a cyan dye after development is applied to a film base and then a silver halide emulsion sensitive to blue light and designed to give an image of a yellow dye after development is further applied to the red-sensitive emulsion layer.
- the sample thus obtained is cut into two parts. One (Sample I) of the parts is wedge exposed to red light only, while the other part (Sample II) is exposed to red light at the same exposure amount and then to blue light giving the same photographic effect as above.
- An object of. this invention is to provide a color photographic image in which the unnecessary absorption of the dye is corrected by the interimage efiect.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a color photographic image having a high color saturation unaccompanied with any reduction in sensitivity.
- the inventors have found that the interimage effect occurs markedly by incorporating a merocyanine dye in at least one photographic emulsion layer of a multi-layercolor photographic light-sensitive material havingat least two silver halide photographic emulsion layers.
- the merocyanine dye used in this invention has the general formula [I] wherein X represents a sulfuratom, aselenium atom, an oxygen atom or wherein R R and R each represents a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted alkyl radical or an unsubstituted or substituted aryl radical; and whereinZ represents the atomic groupnecessary for forming a heterocyclic ring, which may be substituted.
- X is a sulfur atom, a selenium atom, an oxygen atom, or
- R R and R is a hydrogen atom; an alkyl Compound group, such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, an npropyl group, an n-butyl group, an iso-butyl group, an ass n-amyl group, and the like; a substituted alkyl group 5 I such as a Z-methoxyethyl group, a 2-hydroxyethyl group, an allyl group (or a vinylmethyl group), a benzyl group, a phenethyl group, a carboxymethyl group, a i o carboxyethyl group, a sulfomethyl group, a sulfopropyl group, a sulfobutyl group, a 4-carboxyphenethyl group,- 0 a 4-sulfophenethyl group, and the like; an aryl group such as a phenyl group; or a substituted alkyl
- Z is an atomic group necessary to complete a heterocyclic ring.
- the merocyanine dyes used in this invention can be readily synthesized by referring to the description in FM. Famer, The Cyanine Dyes and Related Compounds, p. 511; John Wiley & Sons Co., as well as in the specifications of US. Pat. Nos. 2,493,748 and 2,519,001.
- the merocyanine dye of this invention can be incorporated in a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material by incorporating the dye in at least one of layers consisting of the silver halide emulsion layers of the color photographic light-sensitive material and the layers adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layers, such as a yellow filter layer, an antihalation layer, an intermediate layer, or a protective layer.
- the amount of the merocyanine dye usediri this in- 7' vention depends upon the nature of the multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material and the manner used in developing the material but where the merocyanine dye is incorporated in a silver halide emulsion layer of multilayer color photographic light- 1 sensitive material, the amount of the dye is suitably from 6 to 600 mg per mol of silver halide and where the merocyanine dye is incorporated in an emulsion layer adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layer, the amount of the dye is suitably from 6 to 600 mg per 100 g of gelatin.

10 Claims, No Drawings MULTI-LAYER COLOR PI-IOTOGRAPI-IIC SILVER HALIDE LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIALS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material showing improved color contrast due to the interimage effect.
2. Description of the Prior Art In a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material having on a support a red-sensitive emulsion layer, a green-sensitive emulsion layer and a blue-sensitive emulsion layer, the dye formed by the reaction of the oxidation product of an aromatic primary amino color developing agent and a color former or a coupler has the property of absorbing to some extent light other than that to be absorbed. For instance, a magenta dye absorbs blue light and red light to some extent'in addition to the green light to be absorbed. Similarly, a yellow dye and cyan dye absorb to some extent light other than blue light and red light respectively. This undesirable and unnecessary absorption by the dye tends to creasing this interimage effect is not well known. For 1 instance, although it is known that this interimage effect is caused by using a coupler capable of releasing a development inhibiting material on coupling, such as a benztriazole or a mercapto compound or a compound reduce the color contrast and hence tends to darken I the color obtained and to reduce the saturation.
The reduction of the saturation of color by this unnecessary absorption of the dye may be improved-to some extent by the inter-image effect. The interimage effect is a phenomenon wherein the formation of a dye image in one photographic emulsion layer influences the formation of the dye image in other photographic emulsion layers in a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material. With the interimage effect the color contrast can be increased.
The interimage effect increasing the color contrast can be explained as follows. A silver halide emulsion sensitive to red light and designed to give an image of a cyan dye after development is applied to a film base and then a silver halide emulsion sensitive to blue light and designed to give an image of a yellow dye after development is further applied to the red-sensitive emulsion layer. The sample thus obtained is cut into two parts. One (Sample I) of the parts is wedge exposed to red light only, while the other part (Sample II) is exposed to red light at the same exposure amount and then to blue light giving the same photographic effect as above. Thereby a wedge image is formed in only the lower red-sensitive emulsion layer of Sample I and also a wedge image is formed in the upper blue-sensitive layer and the lower red-sensitive layer of Sample ll. After development the contrasts of the cyan dye images formed in the red-sensitive layers of Sample land Sample II are evaluated by measuring their densities. When the contrast of the cyan dye image of Sample I is higher than the contrast of the cyan dye image of Sample I],
the interimage effect has occurred. In a multi-layer color photographic light-sensitive material having a red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer and a blue- 7 C.A. Horton in Journal of the Optical Society of Amersuch as hydroquinone capable of releasing an inhibiting material on development, such as iodine ions or a mercapto compound, such compounds are generally unstable, are readily decomposed or cause great desensitization, which limits their selection. Accordingly, it has hitherto been considered difficult to increase the contrast by the interimage effect without adversely influencing the photographic properties.
An object of. this invention is to provide a color photographic image in which the unnecessary absorption of the dye is corrected by the interimage efiect.
Another object of this invention is to provide a color photographic image having a high color saturation unaccompanied with any reduction in sensitivity.

EXAMPLE 1 According to theZ-above descriptions, two types of multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive materials of the coupler-in-developer type color photographic system were prepared. One of them was used as a control sample and in another sample, Compound 1 1 shown hereinbefore, was added to the three silver halide emulsion layers (first layer, second layer and fourth layer) inthe amount of 40 mg per l mol of silver halide. I
Each of the multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive materials thus prepared was subjected to the following two types of sensitometrie exposures, i.e., exposed to red light andto white light (red light green light blue light). In the above exposures, the
amount of exposure of red light was the same in both cases and the amount of exposure of the green and blue above-described components in the white light was adjusted so that they formed thesame photographic effect as the red exposure.
The samples thus exposed were developed using the developing procedures. After development,.the density of the cyan dye in the samples was obtained as a function of the amount of exposure of the red light. From the ratio of the gamma'valves of the characteristic'curves of the cyan dye images in the case of exposure to red light alone and in the case of exposure'to white light ('y /y where 7,. is the gamma value of the cyan dye image when exposed to red light and 7 is the gamma value when exposed to white light), the interimage effect was evaluated. Also, the interimage effect could be evaluated using the difference in the sensitivity obtained at a density D=0.6, that is to say, A logE [AlogE= (log E at D=0.6 of the cyan dye image when exposed to white light) (log E at D=0.6 of the cyan dye image when exposed to red light)]. In other. words, as the int'erimage effect to the cyan dye image is larger, the ratio y /y becomes larger and also ,A log E becomes larger. The results obtained are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 Amount 'lmg. mol of silver halide Compound (each of the three layers)] y l-y A Log E Control 0 1.25 0.2! Compound ll 40 L65 0.48
As can be seen from the above table, it is clear that with the'incorporation of Compound ll, the ratio 'y /y and A log E were increased and hence the interimage effect was increased.
EXAMPLE 2 layers) of the light-sensitive materials.
The multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive materialsthus obtained were subjected to exposure and development as in Example I and also the density was measured as in Example 1, whereby the ratio y l-y was obtained. 0n the other hand, in order to determine the influence of the compounds shown in Table 2 on the sensitivity of the blue-sensitive layer, the multilayer type colorphotographic light-sensitive material 'wassensitometrically exposed to blue light. Thereafter each of the light-sensitive materials was processed in accordance with the developing procedures of the coupler-in-developer type color photographic system and the density of the yellow dye image was measured. From the change in the sensitivity value S (expressed as a relative value with the control sample being assumed to be obtained at D=0.6, the extent of the sensitivity of the blue layer reduced by adding the compound thereto was determined. That is to say, a lower 13 sensitivity value shows the incorporated compound reduced the sensitivity of the blue-sensitive emulsion layer to a greater extent. The y l'y values and sensitivity values S thus obtained are shown in Table 2, in which the results obtained in using the following compounds for comparison are shown.

I
When compound X was used, the value of 7 /7 was increased similarly but the sensitivity was greatly reduced. Also, when the merocyanine dyes Y and Z were used,'the values of 7 were essentially the same as that of the control experiment and hence compounds Y and Z do not show the effect of increasing the interimage effect as in this invention. As described above, compounds 1 to 14 in this invention have the advantages that the interimage effect was increased without greatly reducing the sensitivity.
EXAMPLE 3 According to the above-described procedures, 16
types of multilayer color photographic light-sensitive materials of the coupler-in-emulsion layer type color photographic system were prepared. One of the samples was used as a control sample and the other samples were prepared by incorporating compound 1 or compound 7 in the protective layer (the eighth layer), the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer (the seventh layer), the yellow filter layer (the sixth layer), or the intermediate layer (the fourth layer) in the amount shown in Table 3 below.
The multi-layer type color photographic light-sensitive materials thus obtained were sensitometrically exposed to the following four different kinds of light, respectively. That is to say, each of the light-sensitive materials were exposed tored light, green light, blue 50 light, or white light (red light green light blue light) separately. The amount of exposure of the red component, the green component or the blue component of the white light was the same as that of the exposure to red light, the exposure to green light, or the exposure to blue light alone and the amount of exposure to each of the red light, green light and blue light was so ad jisted that the same photographic effect was obtained.
The samples thus exposed were developed using the developing process of the coupler-in-emulsion type color photographic system as described hereinbefore. After development, the ratio of the gamma values 7 W of the characteristic. curves of the cyan dye images when exposed to red light and when exposed to white light, the gamma value ratio y /7 of the characteristic curves of the magenta dye images when exposed to green light and when exposed to white light, and the gamma value ratio of 7 of the characteristic curves 1 or Compound 7 the ratios 'y l'y 7 /7 and 'y l-y were greatly increased, that is to say, the interimage effects were increased.
