Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material excellent in image sharpness, graininess, color reproducibility and storability, and sensitivity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, in a multilayer color photographic material having a blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, light scattering by silver halide grains tends to reduce the sharpness of an emulsion layer located below. It has been known. US Patent No. 4,
434,226 and 4,439,520,
A color photographic light-sensitive material having improved sharpness, sensitivity and graininess by using tabular silver halide grains is described. U.S. Pat. No. 4,433,048 discloses that tabular grains having an AgI distribution within the grains increasing from the center toward the surface exhibit excellent sensitivity and size ratio.

Further, in JP-A-62-18552, silver halide grains contained in all silver halide emulsion layers each comprise 4 mol% or less of silver iodobromide, and at least one layer or more. It is disclosed that a color photographic light-sensitive material containing tabular silver halide grains has excellent color reproducibility. On the other hand, in JP-A-62-18556, a photosensitive material using monodisperse tabular silver halide grains has excellent image sharpness and graininess as compared with those using polydisperse tabular grains. JP-A-63-151618 discloses a method for preparing the above monodisperse tabular grains. Furthermore, JP-A-2
No. 256043 discloses that the image sharpness and graininess are improved by using a monodisperse tabular emulsion having an improved AgI distribution between silver halide emulsion grains.
P-0514743A1 discloses a method for improving sharpness by an emulsion having a specified tabularity. Although these methods have made some progress in improving sharpness, graininess or color reproduction, they are still insufficient, and further improvements are strongly desired.

Techniques for incorporating a dye into a silver halide light-sensitive material for improving image quality or adjusting sensitivity have been conventionally practiced in the art. For example, photographic emulsion layers and / or other hydrophilic colloid layers are often colored for the purpose of absorbing light in a specific wavelength range.

When it is necessary to control the spectral composition of light to be incident on the photographic emulsion layer, a coloring layer is usually provided on the side farther from the support than the photographic emulsion layer. Such a colored layer is called a filter layer. When there are multiple photographic emulsion layers, the filter layer may be located between them.

Light scattered during or after passing through the photographic emulsion layer is reflected at the interface between the emulsion layer and the support or at the surface of the light-sensitive material opposite to the emulsion layer and re-enters the photographic emulsion layer. A coloring layer called an antihalation layer is provided between the photographic emulsion layer and the support or on the surface of the support opposite to the photographic emulsion layer for the purpose of preventing blurring or halation of an image based on the image. When there are a plurality of photographic emulsion layers, an antihalation layer may be placed between the layers.

Coloring of the photographic emulsion layer is also carried out in order to prevent deterioration of image sharpness (usually called irradiation) due to light scattering in the photographic emulsion layer.

Recently, yellow colloidal silver (usually CareyLea Silver) in color photographic light-sensitive materials has been used.
Called r), dyes for crossover cut layer in X photographic light-sensitive materials, dyes for dyeing non-light-sensitive emulsion layers for safelight safety in printed photographic light-sensitive materials Is spreading.

The dyes used for these purposes are required to satisfy the following conditions.

(1) It has a proper spectral absorption according to the purpose of use.

(2) Photochemically inactive. That is, it should not adversely affect the performance of the silver halide photographic emulsion layer in a chemical sense, such as reduction in sensitivity, latent image regression, or fog.

(3) It should not be decolorized in the course of photographic processing or be dissolved in a processing solution or washing water to leave no harmful coloring on the photographic light-sensitive material after processing.

(4) Do not diffuse from the dyed layer to other layers.

(5) It has excellent stability over time in a solution or photographic material and does not discolor or fade.

Particularly when the colored layer is a filter layer,
Alternatively, in the case of an antihalation layer which is placed on the same side of the support as the photographic emulsion layer, it is preferable that those layers are selectively colored so that the other layers are not substantially colored. Often needed. This is because coloring of layers other than the filter layer, etc. not only exerts a detrimental spectral effect on other layers, but also destroys the effect as a filter layer or an antihalation layer. Is. However, wet contact between the dyed layer and other hydrophilic colloid layers often causes some of the dye to diffuse from the former to the latter. Many efforts have been made to prevent the diffusion of such dyes.

For example, a method in which a hydrophilic polymer having an opposite charge to the dissociated anionic dye is allowed to coexist in a layer as a mordant and the dye is localized in a specific layer by interaction with dye molecules is described in US Pat. , 548,564, 4,124,386, and 3,625,694.

[Chemical 37] The light-absorbing property of the dye used in the present invention may be one having a spectral absorption maximum wavelength at substantially 500 to 600 nm in the dry film of the non-photosensitive layer containing the dye, and one or more dyes may be used. May be used together.

The amount of the dye added is such that the average optical density in the dry film of the added non-photosensitive layer in the range of 500 to 600 nm is 0.01 to 0.50, preferably 0.03 to 0.
Thirty. In the present invention, a dye dispersed in the above-mentioned dispersion method in an amount capable of obtaining this average optical density may be added.
The actual measuring method is as follows: a dye is coated on a transparent support together with gelatin and dried, and a sample is dried with a spectrophotometer at 500 to 600 n.
The concentration of m is measured, and the integrated value is 500 to 600 nm.
Determine the average optical density at.

The addition amount of the dye of the present invention is a non-photosensitive layer adjacent to the green-sensitive emulsion layer on the side opposite to the exposure side (support side), and the sensitivity of the green-sensitive layer is lowered by being localized in the layer. The sharpness can be remarkably improved by the halation-preventing effect while maintaining the minimum.

Further, in the layer-structured light-sensitive material in which one or more red-sensitive emulsion layers are present on the support side of the dye-insensitive layer according to the present invention, the dye-insensitive layer described above allows the red-sensitive emulsion layer to have a short wavelength. By reducing the sensitivity on the side (green range),
Changes in hue due to the amount of exposure light have been reduced, enabling more faithful color reproduction.

[Chemical 52] The light-sensitive material of the present invention is not particularly limited in the number and order of layers of the silver halide emulsion layer and the non-light-sensitive layer, and generally the unit light-sensitive layers are arranged in order from the support side to the red-sensitive layer and the green-sensitive layer. Layer and blue color sensitivity are installed in that order. However, depending on the purpose, the installation order may be reversed, or the installation order may be such that photosensitive layers having different color sensitivities are sandwiched between the same color-sensitive layers.

Non-photosensitive layers such as various intermediate layers may be provided between the above silver halide photosensitive layers and as the uppermost layer and the lowermost layer.

For the intermediate layer, JP-A-61-43748 is used.

A plurality of silver halide emulsion layers constituting each unit light-sensitive layer are a high-sensitivity emulsion layer and a low-sensitivity emulsion layer as described in West German Patent 1,121,470 or British Patent 923,045. A two-layer constitution of emulsion layers can be preferably used. In general, it is preferable that the layers are arranged so that the photosensitivity is gradually lowered toward the support, and a non-photosensitive layer may be provided between each halogen emulsion layer. Also,

As described in No. 6, it is also possible to arrange in the order of blue-sensitive layer / GL / RL / GH / RH from the side farthest from the support.

Further, as described in JP-B-49-15495, the upper layer is the silver halide emulsion layer having the highest photosensitivity, the intermediate layer is the silver halide emulsion layer having a lower photosensitivity, and the lower layer is the intermediate layer. Another example is an arrangement in which a silver halide emulsion layer having a lower photosensitivity is arranged and three layers having different sensitivities are sequentially lowered toward the support.

Does not have to be performed. Any one of the above steps 1) to 3) and any one of steps 4) to 15) are connected to form a color reversal step.

Next, the processing liquid in the color reversal processing step of the present invention will be described.

Known developing agents can be used in the black and white developing solution used in the present invention. As a developing agent,
For example, dihydroxybenzenes (eg hydroquinone), 3-pyrazolidones (eg 1-phenyl-
3-pyrazolidone), aminophenols (eg N
-Methyl-p-aminophenol), 1-phenyl-3
-Pyrazolines, ascorbic acid and US Pat.
The heterocyclic compounds such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline ring and indrene ring described in No. 67,872 can be used alone or in combination.

The black-and-white developing solution used in the present invention may include, if necessary, preservatives (eg, sulfite, bisulfite), buffers (eg, carbonate, boric acid, borate, alkanolamine), alkaline agents. (Eg, hydroxide, carbonate), dissolution tablet (eg, polyethylene glycols,
Contains these esters), pH adjusters (eg organic acids such as acetic acid, sensitizers (eg quaternary ammonium salts), development accelerators, surfactants, defoamers, hardeners, viscosity imparting agents) Can be made.

The black-and-white developing solution used in the present invention must contain a compound acting as a silver halide solvent.
The sulfite, which is usually added as a preservative, plays the role. The sulfite and other silver halide solvents that can be used include, for example, KSCN and NaSC.
N, K ₂ SO ₃ , Na ₂ SO ₃ , K ₂ S ₂ O ₅ , Na ₂
It can be exemplified _{S 2 O 5, K 2 S} 2 O 3, Na 2 S 2 O 3.

The pH value of the developer thus adjusted is selected so as to give a desired density and contrast, but is in the range of about 8.5 to about 11.5, and about 9.
It is more preferably 2 to 10.5.

In order to carry out the sensitizing process using such a black-and-white developing solution, it is usually necessary to extend the time up to about 3 times the standard process. At this time, if the processing temperature is raised, the extension time for the sensitization processing can be shortened.

The pH of the color developer of the present invention is generally 9 to 12, and more preferably 11.0 to 12.0. The replenishment amount of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material to be processed, but in general, the light-sensitive material 1
Less than 3 liters per square meter, 500m by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher
It can be 1 or less. When the replenishment amount is reduced, it is preferable to prevent the liquid evaporation and air oxidation by reducing the contact area of the treatment tank with the air.

The contact area between the photographic processing liquid and the air in the processing tank can be represented by the aperture ratio defined below.

That is, aperture ratio = [contact area between treatment liquid and air (cm ² )] ÷ [volume of treatment liquid (cm ³ )] The above aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, and It is preferably 0.001 to 0.05. As a method of reducing the aperture ratio in this way, in addition to providing a shield such as a floating lid on the surface of the photographic processing liquid in the processing tank, JP-A-1-82 is available.
No. 033, a method using a movable lid, JP-A-63-63
-216050 can be mentioned as a slit developing treatment method. Reducing the aperture ratio is not limited to both the color development and black and white development steps, but also the subsequent steps,
For example, it is preferably applied in all steps of bleaching, bleach-fixing, fixing, washing with water, stabilization and the like. Further, the amount of replenishment can be reduced by using a means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developing solution.

The reversal bath used for black-and-white development may contain a known fogging agent. That is, for example, stannous ion-organic phosphoric acid complex salt (US Pat. No. 3,617,28)
No. 2), stannous ion organic phosphonocarboxylic acid complex salt (Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-32616), stannous ion-aminopolycarboxylic acid complex salt (US Pat. No. 1,20).

The fogging bath (reversal bath) has a wide pH range from the acidic side to the alkaline side, and has a pH of 2 to 12, preferably 2.5 to 10, and particularly preferably 3 to 9. Instead of the reversal bath, a light reversal treatment by re-exposure may be performed, and the reversal step can be omitted by adding the fogging agent to the color developing solution.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is subjected to bleaching processing or bleach-fixing processing after color development. These treatments may be carried out immediately after the color development without passing through other processing steps, in order to prevent unnecessary post-development and air fog and to reduce the carry-in of the color developing solution to the desilvering process. Also, in order to wash out and detoxify the sensitizing dyes, dyes and other sensitive material parts contained in the photographic light-sensitive material and the color developing agent impregnated in the photographic light-sensitive material, stop, adjust, and wash with water after color development processing. A bleaching treatment or a bleach-fixing treatment may be carried out after the treatment steps such as.

The photographic emulsion layer after color development is usually bleached. The bleaching process may be performed simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process), or may be performed individually. Further, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method of bleach-fixing processing after bleaching processing may be used. Further, treatment with two continuous bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before the bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after the bleach-fixing treatment can be optionally carried out according to the purpose. As the bleaching agent, compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron (III), peracids, quinones, nitro compounds and the like are used. A typical bleaching agent is an iron (III) complex salt,
For example, aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, glycol etherdiaminetetraacetic acid, or complex salts of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc. Can be used. Among these, aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (II) complexes including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts and 1,3-diaminepropanetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts.
I) Complex salts are preferable from the viewpoint of rapid processing and prevention of environmental pollution. Further, the aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salt is particularly useful in both the bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution. The pH of a bleaching solution or a bleach-fixing solution using these iron (III) aminopolycarboxylic acid complex salts is usually 4.0 to 8, but a lower pH can be used for speeding up the processing.

If necessary, a bleaching accelerator can be used in the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and their pre-bath.

The compounds described in -95,630 are preferred. Further, the compounds described in US Pat. No. 4,552,834 are also preferable. These bleaching accelerators may be added to the light-sensitive material. These bleaching accelerators are particularly effective when bleach-fixing a color light-sensitive material for photography.

In addition to the above compounds, the bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution preferably contain an organic acid for the purpose of preventing bleach stain. Particularly preferable organic acid is a compound having an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 2 to 5, and specifically, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid and hydroxyacetic acid are preferable.

Examples of the fixing agent used in the fixing solution and the bleach-fixing solution include thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas, and a large amount of iodide salts. Use of thiosulfates Are generally used, and ammonium thiosulfate is most widely used. Further, for example, a combination of thiosulfate, thiocyanate, thioether compound and thiourea is also preferable. As a preservative for the fixing solution and the bleach-fixing solution, sulfites, bisulfites, carbonyl bisulfite adducts or sulfinic acid compounds described in EP 294769A are preferable. Further, various aminopolycarboxylic acids and organic phosphonic acids are preferably added to the fixing solution and the bleach-fixing solution for the purpose of stabilizing the solution.

The total time of the desilvering step is preferably as short as possible so long as no desilvering failure occurs. Preferred time is 1 to 3 minutes
Minutes, more preferably 1 minute to 2 minutes. The processing temperature is 25 ° C to 50 ° C, preferably 35 ° C to 45 ° C.
In the preferable temperature range, the desilvering rate is improved, and the stain generation after the processing is effectively prevented.

In the desilvering step, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened as much as possible. As a specific method for strengthening the stirring, a method of causing a jet of a processing solution to collide with an emulsion surface of a light-sensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, or stirring using a rotating means of JP-A-62-183461. Method to improve the effect, further moving the photosensitive material while contacting the emulsion surface with the wiper blade provided in the solution, to improve the stirring effect by making the emulsion surface turbulent, circulation of the entire processing solution There is a method of increasing the flow rate. Such a stirring improving means includes a bleaching solution, a bleach-fixing solution,
It is effective with any of the fixing solutions. It is considered that the improvement of the stirring speeds up the supply of the bleaching agent and the fixing agent into the emulsion film and, as a result, increases the desilvering rate. Further, the above-mentioned stirring improving means is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used, and it is possible to remarkably increase the accelerating effect and eliminate the fixing inhibiting action of the bleaching accelerator.

The automatic developing machine used in the light-sensitive material of the present invention is disclosed in JP-A-60-191257 and 60-19125.
It is preferable to have the photosensitive material conveying means described in No. 8 and No. 60-191259. JP-A-60-1
As described in No. 91257, it is possible to remarkably reduce the carry-in of the treatment liquid from the front bath to the rear bath of such a conveying means, and it is highly effective in preventing the deterioration of the performance of the treatment liquid. Such effects are particularly effective in shortening the processing time in each step and reducing the amount of processing liquid replenishment.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally subjected to washing and / or stabilizing steps after desilvering. The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing step depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the materials used such as couplers), application, and further, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (number of stages), replenishment method such as countercurrent, forward flow, and various other conditions. It can be set in a wide range.
Among these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multi-stage counterflow method is described in the Journal of the Societ.
y of Motion Picture and T
Evolution Engineers Volume 64,
P. 248 to 253 (May 1955 issue). According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the above-mentioned document, the amount of washing water can be greatly reduced, but due to the increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria propagate, and the suspended matter produced adheres to the photosensitive material, etc. Problem arises. In the processing of the color light-sensitive material of the present invention, as a solution to such a problem, JP-A-62-288,838 has been proposed.
The method of reducing calcium ion and magnesium ion described in No. 10 can be used very effectively. Further, isothiazolone compounds and siabendazoles described in JP-A-57-8542, chlorinated germicides such as chlorinated sodium isocyanurate, and benzotriazole are also described by Hiroshi Horiguchi in "Bacterial and Antifungal Agents".

The pH of washing water in the processing of the light-sensitive material of the present invention is 4-9, preferably 5-8. The washing water temperature and the washing time can be set variously depending on the characteristics of the light-sensitive material, the use, etc., but generally 15 to 45 ° C. for 20 seconds to 10 minutes,
A range of 30 seconds to 5 minutes at 25 to 40 ° C is preferably selected. Further, the light-sensitive material of the present invention can be directly processed with a stabilizing solution instead of the above washing with water. In such stabilizing treatment, JP-A-57-8543 and 58-58 are used.
All the known methods described in JP-A-148344 and JP-A-60-220345 can be used.

Further, there is a case where a stabilizing treatment is further carried out after the water washing treatment, and as an example thereof, a stabilizer containing a dye stabilizer and a surfactant used as a final bath of a color light-sensitive material for photographing is used. You can mention the bath. Examples of dye stabilizers include aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde, n-methylol compounds, hexamethylenetetramine, and aldehyde sulfite adducts. Various chelating agents and antifungal agents can also be added to this stabilizing bath.

The overflow solution resulting from the above washing with water and / or supplementation of the stabilizing solution can be reused in other steps such as the desilvering step.
