Definitions

  • the invention relates to a color photographic silver halide material with a support, at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one magenta coupler, at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one yellow coupler, at least one intermediate layer Z-1 under the bottom layer Silver halide emulsion layer and / or at least one intermediate layer Z-2 under the lowermost green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, which is characterized by an improved red and / or green sensitivity.
  • the invention relates to a color photographic silver halide material with camera sensitivity, preferably a color negative film with a transparent support.
  • Color negative films must have a certain minimum sensitivity in order to achieve blur-free shots with them in all commercially available cameras, ie shots with a short shutter speed of the camera.
  • This minimum sensitivity means that the silver halide emulsions required for this are silver bromide iodide emulsions which have a high intrinsic sensitivity in the blue region of the visible spectrum.
  • This intrinsic sensitivity of the silver bromide iodide emulsions in turn means that the blue-sensitive layers are usually arranged farthest from the support and that a yellow filter layer is located between them and the green- and red-sensitive layers is arranged to prevent incorrect exposure of the green and red sensitive layers with blue light.
  • the red-sensitive, cyan-green coupling layers are arranged closest to the support. They have several disadvantages compared to the other layers because (1) some of the red light in the layers above has already been lost due to absorption or scattering (2) when developing the developer due to consumption in the layers above it no longer has the highest concentration and (3) simultaneously with the developer, substances diffuse into the red-sensitive layers which slow down the development, for example the bromide ions released by the development in the layers above. This also applies to a lesser extent to the green-sensitive, purple-coupling layers.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to increase the sensitivity to red and / or green in a silver halide material of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • Z-1 and / or Z-2 contains a silver halide emulsion which has tabular grains with an aspect ratio> 2, an average diameter of the volume-equal sphere of ⁇ 0 , 3 ⁇ m and a diameter of the circular projection surface of the tabular grains of ⁇ 0.3 ⁇ m.
  • the tabular grains make up at least 50% of the projection area of said emulsion.
  • the aspect ratio is preferably 4 to 15.
  • the silver halide emulsions of the intermediate layers Z-1 and Z-2 are in particular not spectrally sensitized.
  • the material according to the invention has 2 or 3 red-sensitive, cyan-coupling silver halide emulsion layers, 2 or 3 green-sensitive, purple-coupling silver halide emulsion layers and 2 or 3 blue-sensitive, yellow-coupling silver halide emulsion layers, in addition to which the intermediate layers Z-1 and Z-2, a yellow filter layer between the green-sensitive and the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers and, if necessary, further intermediate, protective and top layers are added.
  • the tabular grain silver halide emulsion found in Z-1 and / or Z-2 consists in particular of 0 to 40 mol% AgI, 0 to 100 mol% AgCl and 0 to 100 mol% AgBr.
  • the tabular grains consist of AgBr, have an average diameter of the same-volume sphere from 0.45 to 0.55 ⁇ m, an average diameter of the projection area of 0.67 to 1.10 ⁇ m, and an average crystal thickness of 0.075 to 0.165 ⁇ m and an average aspect ratio of 5 to 12.
  • the emulsion of the intermediate layer is used in an amount which corresponds to 0.1 to 2.0 g AgNO3 per m2, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 g AgNO3 / m2.
  • Suitable transparent supports for the production of color photographic materials are e.g. Films and sheets of semi-synthetic and synthetic polymers such as cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate and polycarbonate. These carriers can also be colored black for the purpose of shielding light.
  • the surface of the support is generally subjected to a treatment in order to improve the adhesion of the photographic emulsion layer, for example a corona discharge with subsequent application of a substrate layer.
  • the back of the carrier can be provided with a magnetic layer and an antistatic layer.
  • Binding agents, silver halide grains and color couplers are essential components of the photographic emulsion layers.
  • Gelatin is preferably used as the binder. However, this can be wholly or partly by other synthetic, semi-synthetic or naturally occurring Polymers to be replaced.
  • Synthetic gelatin substitutes are, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylamides, polyacrylic acid and their derivatives, in particular their copolymers.
  • Naturally occurring gelatin substitutes are, for example, other proteins such as albumin or casein, cellulose, sugar, starch or alginates.
  • Semi-synthetic gelatin substitutes are usually modified natural products.
  • Cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyalkyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and phthalyl cellulose and gelatin derivatives, which have been obtained by reaction with alkylating or acylating agents or by grafting on polymerizable monomers, are examples of this.
  • the gelatin can also be replaced in whole or in part by silica sol.
  • the binders should have a sufficient amount of functional groups so that enough resistant layers can be produced by reaction with suitable hardening agents.
  • functional groups are in particular amino groups, but also carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups and active methylene groups.
  • the gelatin which is preferably used can be obtained by acidic or alkaline digestion. Oxidized gelatin can also be used. The production of such gelatins is described, for example, in The Science and Technology of Gelatine, published by A.G. Ward and A. Courts, Academic Press 1977, page 295 ff.
  • the gelatin used in each case should contain the lowest possible level of photographically active impurities (inert gelatin). High viscosity, low swelling gelatins are particularly advantageous.
  • the silver halide present as a light-sensitive component in the photographic material can contain chloride, bromide or iodide or mixtures thereof as the halide.
  • the halide content of at least one layer can consist of 0 to 40 mol% of iodide, 0 to 100 mol% of chloride and 0 to 100 mol% of bromide. It can be predominantly compact crystals, which are, for example, regularly cubic or octahedral or can have transitional forms.
  • platelet-shaped crystals can also preferably be present, the average ratio of diameter to thickness of which is preferably at least 5: 1, the diameter of a grain being defined as the diameter of a circle with a circle content corresponding to the projected area of the grain.
  • the layers can also have tabular silver halide crystals in which the ratio of diameter to thickness is substantially greater than 5: 1, for example 12: 1 to 30: 1. Tabular silver halide crystals with a hexagonal shape are particularly preferred.
  • the silver halide grains can also have a multi-layered grain structure, in the simplest case with an inner and an outer grain area (core / shell), the halide composition and / or other modifications, such as e.g. Doping of the individual grain areas are different.
  • the average grain size of the emulsions is preferably between 0.2 ⁇ m and 2.0 ⁇ m, the grain size distribution can be either homodisperse or heterodisperse. Homodisperse grain size distribution means that 95% of the grains do not deviate from the mean grain size by more than ⁇ 30%.
  • the emulsions can also contain organic silver salts, e.g. Silver benzotriazolate or silver behenate.
  • Two or more kinds of silver halide emulsions, which are prepared separately, can be used as a mixture.
  • the photographic emulsions can be prepared using various methods (e.g. P. Glafkides, Chimie et Physique Photographique, Paul Montel, Paris (1967), GF Duffin, Photographic Emulsion Chemistry, The Focal Press, London (1966), VL Zelikman et al, Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion, The Focal Press, London (1966) from soluble silver salts and soluble halides.

  • the soluble salts are removed from the emulsion, e.g. by pasta and washing, by flakes and washing, by ultrafiltration or by ion exchangers.
  • the silver halide emulsion is generally subjected to chemical sensitization under defined conditions - pH, pAg, temperature, gelatin, silver halide and sensitizer concentration - until the Sensitivity and fog optimum subjected.

  • the procedure is described, for example, by H. Frieser "The Basics of Photographic Processes with Silver Halides" page 675-734, Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft (1968).
  • the chemical sensitization can be carried out with the addition of compounds of sulfur, selenium, tellurium and / or compounds of the metals of subgroup VIII of the periodic table (for example gold, platinum, palladium, iridium), and thiocyanate compounds, surface-active compounds such as thioethers, heterocyclic compounds Nitrogen compounds (e.g. imidazoles, azaindenes) or spectral sensitizers (described, for example, by F. Hamer "The Cyanine Dyes and Related Compounds", 1964, or Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 4th edition, vol. 18, pp. 431 ff. and Research Disclosure 17643 (Dec. 1978), Chapter III).

Wiss. Phot. 47 (1952), pp. 2-58. Furthermore, salts of metals such as mercury or cadmium, aromatic sulfonic or sulfinic acids such as benzenesulfinic acid, or nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as nitrobenzimidazole, nitroindazole, optionally substituted benzotriazoles or benzothiazolium salts can be used as antifoggants.

  • Heterocycles containing mercapto groups for example mercaptobenzthiazoles, mercaptobenzimidazoles, mercaptotetrazoles, mercaptothiadiazoles, mercaptopyrimidines, are particularly suitable, these mercaptoazoles also being able to contain a water-solubilizing group, for example a carboxyl group or sulfo group.

  • ampholytic surfactants e.g. Amino acid and aminosulfonic acid compounds as well as sulfuric or phosphoric acid esters of an amino alcohol.
  • the photographic emulsions can be spectrally sensitized using methine dyes or other dyes.
  • Particularly suitable dyes are cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes and complex merocyanine dyes.
  • the differently sensitized emulsion layers are assigned non-diffusing monomeric or polymeric color couplers, which can be located in the same layer or in a layer adjacent to it.
  • cyan couplers are assigned to the red-sensitive layers, purple couplers to the green-sensitive layers and yellow couplers to the blue-sensitive layers.
  • Color couplers for producing the blue-green partial color image are usually couplers of the phenol or ⁇ -naphthol type.
  • Color couplers for generating the purple partial color image are usually couplers of the pyrazolone or of the pyrazolotriazole type.
  • Color couplers for producing the yellow partial color image are generally couplers of the acylacetanilide type.
  • the color couplers can be 4-equivalent couplers, but also 2-equivalent couplers.
  • the latter are derived from the 4-equivalent couplers in that they contain a substituent in the coupling point, which is split off during the coupling.
  • the 2-equivalent couplers include those that are colorless, as well as those that have an intense intrinsic color that disappears when the color is coupled or is replaced by the color of the image dye produced (mask coupler), and the white couplers that react with color developer oxidation products yield essentially colorless products.
  • the 2-equivalent couplers also include those couplers which contain a cleavable residue in the coupling site, which is released upon reaction with color developer oxidation products and thereby either directly or after one or more further groups have been cleaved from the primarily cleaved residue (e.g. DE-A-27 03 145, DE-A-28 55 697, DE-A-31 05 026, DE-A-33 19 428), a certain desired photographic effectiveness unfolds, e.g. as a development inhibitor or accelerator.
  • Examples of such 2-equivalent couplers are the known DIR couplers as well as DAR and FAR couplers.
  • DIR couplers which release development inhibitors of the azole type, for example triazoles and benzotriazoles, are described in DE-A-24 14 006, 26 10 546, 26 59 417, 27 54 281, 28 42 063, 36 26 219, 36 30 564, 36 36 824, 36 44 416. Further advantages for color reproduction, ie color separation and color purity, and for detail reproduction, ie sharpness and granularity, can be achieved with those DIR couplers which, for example, do not split off the development inhibitor directly as a result of the coupling with an oxidized color developer, but only after one Another follow-up reaction, for example with a timing group is achieved.
  • DIR couplers which release a development inhibitor which is decomposed into essentially photographically ineffective products in the developer bath are described, for example, in DE-A-32 09 486 and in EP-A-0 167 168 and 0 219 713. This measure ensures trouble-free development and processing consistency.
  • the DIR couplers can be added to a wide variety of layers in a multilayer photographic material, e.g. also light-insensitive or intermediate layers. However, they are preferably added to the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers, the characteristics of the silver halide emulsion, e.g. whose iodide content, the structure of the silver halide grains or their grain size distribution influence the photographic properties achieved.
  • the influence of the inhibitors released can be limited, for example, by incorporating an inhibitor scavenger layer in accordance with DE-A-24 31 223. For reasons of reactivity or stability, it can be advantageous to use a DIR coupler which forms a color in the coupling in the respective layer in which it is introduced, which color differs from the color to be produced in this layer.
  • DAR or FAR couplers can be used, which release a development accelerator or an fogger.
  • Compounds of this type are described, for example, in DE-A-25 34 466, 32 09 110, 33 33 355, 34 10 616, 34 29 545, 34 41 823, in EP-A-0 089 834, 0 110 511, 0 118 087, 0 147 765 and in US-A-4 618 572 and 4 656 123.
  • DIR, DAR or FAR couplers mainly the effectiveness of the residue released during coupling is desired and the color-forming properties of these couplers are less important, such DIR, DAR or FAR couplers are also suitable, which give essentially colorless products on coupling (DE-A-15 47 640).
  • the cleavable residue can also be a ballast residue, so that upon reaction with color developer oxidation products coupling products are obtained which are diffusible or at least have a weak or restricted mobility (US Pat. No. 4,420,556).
  • the material may further contain compounds other than couplers, which can liberate, for example, a development inhibitor, a development accelerator, a bleaching accelerator, a developer, a silver halide solvent, a fogging agent or an antifoggant, for example so-called DIR hydroquinones and other compounds as described, for example, in US Pat US-A-4 636 546, 4 345 024, 4 684 604 and in DE-A-31 45 640, 25 15 213, 24 47 079 and in EP-A-198 438. These compounds perform the same function as the DIR, DAR or FAR couplers, except that they do not form coupling products.
  • couplers can liberate, for example, a development inhibitor, a development accelerator, a bleaching accelerator, a developer, a silver halide solvent, a fogging agent or an antifoggant, for example so-called DIR hydroquinones and other compounds as described, for example, in US Pat US-A-4 636 546, 4 345 024, 4 684 60
  • High-molecular color couplers are described, for example, in DE-C-1 297 417, DE-A-24 07 569, DE-A-31 48 125, DE-A-32 17 200, DE-A-33 20 079, DE-A-33 24 932, DE-A-33 31 743, DE-A-33 40 376, EP-A-27 284, US-A-4 080 211 described.
  • the high molecular weight color couplers are usually produced by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomeric color couplers. However, they can also be obtained by polyaddition or polycondensation.
  • the couplers or other compounds can be incorporated into silver halide emulsion layers by first preparing a solution, a dispersion or an emulsion of the compound in question and then adding it to the casting solution for the layer in question.
  • the selection of the suitable solvent or dispersing agent depends on the solubility of the compound.
  • Hydrophobic compounds can also be introduced into the casting solution using high-boiling solvents, so-called oil formers. Corresponding methods are described for example in US-A-2 322 027, US-A-2 801 170, US-A-2 801 171 and EP-A-O 043 037.

  • the non-light-sensitive intermediate layers which are generally arranged between layers of different spectral sensitivity, can contain agents which prevent undesired diffusion of developer oxidation products from one light-sensitive layer into another light-sensitive layer with different spectral sensitization.
  • Suitable agents which are also called scavengers or EOP-catchers, are described in Research Disclosure 17 643 (Dec. 1978), chapters VII, 17 842 (Feb. 1979) and 18 716 (Nov. 1979), page 650 and in EP A-0 069 070, 0 098 072, 0 124 877, 0 125 522.
  • sub-layers of the same spectral sensitization can differ with regard to their composition, in particular with regard to the type and amount of the silver halide grains.

  • the spacers are water-insoluble and can be alkali-insoluble or alkali-soluble, the alkali-soluble ones generally being removed from the photographic material in the alkaline development bath.
  • suitable polymers are polymethyl methacrylate, copolymers of acrylic acid and methyl methacrylate and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose hexahydrophthalate.
  • Additives to improve dye, coupler and whiteness stability and to reduce the color haze can belong to the following chemical classes of substances: hydroquinones, 6-hydroxychromanes, 5-hydroxycoumarans, spirochromanes, spiroindanes, p-alkoxyphenols, sterically hindered phenols, gallic acid derivatives, methylenedioxybenzenes, aminophenols, sterically hindered amines derivatives with esterified metal complexes or etherified phenol complexes, etherified phenol groups.
  • the layers of the photographic material can be hardened with the usual hardening agents.
  • Suitable curing agents include formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and similar aldehyde compounds, diacetyl, cyclopentadione and similar ketone compounds, bis (2-chloroethylurea), 2-hydroxy-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine and other compounds, the reactive halogen contain (US-A-3 288 775, US-A-2 732 303, GB-A-974 723 and GB-A-1 167 207), divinyl sulfone compounds, 5-acetyl-1,3-diacryloylhexahydro-1,3, 5-triazine and other compounds containing a reactive olefin bond (US-A-3 635 718, US-A-3 232 763 and GB-A-994 869); N-hydroxymethylphthalimide and other N-methylol compounds (US-A-2 732 316 and
  • the hardening can be effected in a known manner by adding the hardening agent to the casting solution for the layer to be hardened, or by overlaying the layer to be hardened with a layer which contains a diffusible hardening agent.
  • Immediate hardeners are understood to mean compounds which crosslink suitable binders in such a way that the hardening is completed to such an extent immediately after casting, at the latest after 24 hours, preferably at the latest after 8 hours, that no further change in the sensitometry and the swelling of the layer structure occurs as a result of the crosslinking reaction .
  • Swelling is understood to mean the difference between the wet film thickness and the dry film thickness during the aqueous processing of the film (Photogr. Sci., Eng. 8 (1964), 275; Photogr. Sci. Eng. (1972), 449).
  • hardening agents that react very quickly with gelatin are e.g. to carbamoylpyridinium salts, which are able to react with free carboxyl groups of the gelatin, so that the latter react with free amino groups of the gelatin to form peptide bonds and crosslink the gelatin.
  • Color photographic negative materials are usually processed by developing, bleaching, fixing and washing or by developing, bleaching, fixing and stabilizing without subsequent washing, whereby bleaching and fixing can be combined into one processing step.
  • All developer compounds which have the ability to react in the form of their oxidation product with color couplers to form azomethine or indophenol dyes can be used as the color developer compound.
  • Suitable color developer compounds are aromatic compounds of the p-phenylenediamine type containing at least one primary amino group, for example N, N-dialkyl-p-phenylenediamines such as N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine, 1- (N-ethyl-N-methanesulfonamidoethyl) -3 -methyl-p-phenylenediamine, 1- (N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethyl) -3-methyl-p-phenylenediamine and 1- (N-ethyl-N-methoxyethyl) -3-methyl-p-phenylenediamine.
  • Other useful color developers are described, for example, in J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 73 , 3106 (1951) and G. Haist, Modern Photographic Processing, 1979, John Wiley and Sons, New York, page 545 ff.
  • bleaching agents e.g. Fe (III) salts and Fe (III) complex salts such as ferricyanides, dichromates, water-soluble cobalt complexes can be used.
  • Iron (III) complexes of aminopolycarboxylic acids are particularly preferred, especially e.g. of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, propylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, iminodiacetic acid, N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, alkyliminodicarboxylic acids and corresponding phosphonic acids.
  • Persulfates and peroxides e.g. Hydrogen peroxide.
  • the bleach-fixing bath or fixing bath is usually followed by washing, which is designed as countercurrent washing or consists of several tanks with their own water supply.
  • the washing can be completely replaced by a stabilizing bath, which is usually carried out in countercurrent.
  • this stabilizing bath also acts as a final bath.
  • a color photographic recording material for color negative color development was produced (layer structure 1A) by applying the following layers in the order given to a transparent layer support made from cellulose triacetate.
  • the quantities given relate to 1 m2.
  • the corresponding amounts of AgNO3 are given; the silver halides are stabilized with 0.5 g of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a, 7-tetraazaindene.
