Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material having a white pigment containing layer and at least one silver halide emulsion layer provided successively on a support, being characterized in that there is provided a colorant containing layer capable of being made substantially colorless by a photographic treatment between said support and said white pigment containing layer. The present invention provides a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material having a reflective support improved to a great extent in sharpness substantially without bringing about lowering in sensitivity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
A light-sensitive silver halide photographic element comprising a support having successively thereon a colorant containing layer, a white pigment containing layer and at least one silver halide emulsion layer; said colorant containing layer containing a colorant selected from the group consisting of a yellow colloidal silver, a grey colloidal silver, a blue colloidal silver and a filter dye, said colorant containing layer being capable of transmitting light in an amount of up to 50% and being capable of being made substantially colorless by a photographic treatment; said white pigment containing layer being permeable to a photographic treating solution and wherein the white pigment in said white pigment containing layer is present in an amount sufficient to maintain the white color of the pigment when viewing said element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 127 words
A light-sensitive silver halide photographic element comprising a support having successively thereon a colorant containing layer, a white pigment containing layer and at least one silver halide emulsion layer; said colorant containing layer containing a colorant selected from the group consisting of a yellow colloidal silver, a grey colloidal silver, a blue colloidal silver and a filter dye, said colorant containing layer being capable of transmitting light in an amount of up to 50% and being capable of being made substantially colorless by a photographic treatment; said white pigment containing layer being permeable to a photographic treating solution and wherein the white pigment in said white pigment containing layer is present in an amount sufficient to maintain the white color of the pigment when viewing said element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
