Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a silver halide photographic emulsion made highly sensitive to white light by use of a combination of at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula: <IMAGE> [I] wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aralkyl group, R2 represents a sulfoalkyl group, or a sulfoaralkyl group, and R3 represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula: <IMAGE> [II] wherein W1 to W4 represent each an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a hydroxyl group, or a pair of W1 and W2 or a pair of W3 and W4 forms an alkylenedioxy group, provided that said pair of W1 and W2 and said pair of W3 and W4 have each at least one alkoxy or hydroxyl group or said alkylenedioxy group; R4 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, or an aryl group; R5 represents a sulfoalkyl group or a sulfoaralkyl group; and R6 represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion which contains a combination of at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aralkyl group, R 2 represents a sulfoalkyl group or a sulfoaralkyl group, and R 3 represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula ##STR9## wherein W 1 to W 4 represent each an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a hydroxyl group, or a pair of W 1 and W 2 or a pair of W 3 and W 4 forms an alkylenedioxy group, provided that said pair of W 1 and W 2 and said pair of W 3 and W 4 have each at least one alkoxy or hydroxyl group or said alkylenedioxy group; R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, or an aryl group; R 5 represents a sulfoalkyl group or a sulfoaralkyl group; and R 6 represents an unsubstituted for substituted alkyl group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion which contains a combination of at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aralkyl group, R 2 represents a sulfoalkyl group or a sulfoaralkyl group, and R 3 represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the general formula ##STR9## wherein W 1 to W 4 represent each an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a hydroxyl group, or a pair of W 1 and W 2 or a pair of W 3 and W 4 forms an alkylenedioxy group, provided that said pair of W 1 and W 2 and said pair of W 3 and W 4 have each at least one alkoxy or hydroxyl group or said alkylenedioxy group; R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, or an aryl group; R 5 represents a sulfoalkyl group or a sulfoaralkyl group; and R 6 represents an unsubstituted for substituted alkyl group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion according to claim 1, wherein when the dye of general formula [I] is a sulfoanionic type, one of the sulfo group is in the form of an alkali metal salt or an ammonium salt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion according to claim 1, wherein when the dye of general formula [II] is a sulfoanionic type, one of the sulfo group is in the form of an alkali metal salt or an ammonium salt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion according to claim 1, wherein the sum of the dye of general formula [I] and the dye of general formula [II] is 0.01 to 10 g per 1 kg of silver halide in terms of silver nitrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
A silver halide photographic emulsion according to claim 4, wherein the mixing ratio of the dye of general formula [I] to the dye of general formula [II] is from 10:1 to 1:10.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 14 words
A photographic material comprising a support and an emulsion layer according to claim 1.
