Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
A light-sensitive photographic silver halide material comprising a hydrophilic colloid layer containing a light-absorbing merostyryl dye, wherein said dye is present in dispersed state and corresponds to the following general formula: ##STR20## in which: R 1 represents hydrogen, a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, a substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, an aryl group, a substituted aryl group, an aralkyl group or a substituted aralkyl group, R 2 is one of the groups represented by R 1 , a carboxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, an ureido group, or a sulfamoyl group, at least one of R 1 and R 2 being or containing a carboxy group or a carbamoyl group, R 3 represents hydrogen, a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, or a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, and where R 3 is a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group or a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, it stands in ortho- or para-position in respect of the hydroxy group, which itself is in ortho- or para-position in respect of the methine group, said merostyryl dye containing no group that renders the dye soluble in the hydrophilic colloid layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
198 words
A light-sensitive photographic silver halide material comprising a hydrophilic colloid layer containing a light-absorbing merostyryl dye, wherein said dye is present in dispersed state and corresponds to the following general formula: ##STR20## in which: R 1 represents hydrogen, a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, a substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, an aryl group, a substituted aryl group, an aralkyl group or a substituted aralkyl group, R 2 is one of the groups represented by R 1 , a carboxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, an ureido group, or a sulfamoyl group, at least one of R 1 and R 2 being or containing a carboxy group or a carbamoyl group, R 3 represents hydrogen, a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, or a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, and where R 3 is a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group or a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, it stands in ortho- or para-position in respect of the hydroxy group, which itself is in ortho- or para-position in respect of the methine group, said merostyryl dye containing no group that renders the dye soluble in the hydrophilic colloid layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A material according to claim 1, wherein said dye is dispersed in gelatin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A material according to claim 1, comprising a support, at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and a layer containing dispersed therein said light-absorbing merostyryl dye.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A material according to claim 3, wherein the layer containing said light-absorbing merostyryl dye is a hydrophilic colloid antihalation layer coated at the side of the support carrying the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer(s).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A material according to claim 3, wherein the layer containing said light-absorbing merostyryl dye is an antihalation layer applied to the side of the support opposite to that carrying the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer(s).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A material according to claim 3, wherein the layer containing said light-absorbing merostyryl dye is a colloid filter layer shielding at least one optically sensitized silver halide emulsion layer from the light of the wavelength absorbed by said dye.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
A material according to claim 5, wherein the support is a film support and the antihalation layer applied to the side of the support opposite to that carrying the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer(s) comprises a water-insoluble, alkali-soluble binder.
