Abstract
Abstract A silver halide reversal photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed, which is improved in color reproducibility and gradation. The photographic material comprises a support having thereon a photographic component layers including at least two silver halide layers and a DIR layer. At least one of the emulsion layers comprises at least two silver halide emulsion layers which are substantially the same in color-sensitivity and different from each other in speed. The DIR layer contains a DIR compound and a silver halide emulsion and does not substantially contribute for any image formation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A silver halide reversal photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon photographic component layers including a first silver halide emulsion layer comprising at least two silver halide emulsion sub-layers which are substantially the same in color sensitivity and different in speed from one another, said first silver halide emulsion layer being red or green sensitive, and a second silver halide emulsion layer having a color sensitivity different from that of said first silver halide emulsion layer, said second silver halide emulsion layer being a DIR layer which comprises a DIR compound and a silver halide emulsion, said DIR layer not substantially contributing to image formation, said DIR layer being adjacent, or adjacent with the interposition of an interlayer to said first silver halide emulsion layer, said DIR layer being closer to said support than said first silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A silver halide reversal photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon photographic component layers including a first silver halide emulsion layer comprising at least two silver halide emulsion sub-layers which are substantially the same in color sensitivity and different in speed from one another, said first silver halide emulsion layer being red or green sensitive, and a second silver halide emulsion layer having a color sensitivity different from that of said first silver halide emulsion layer, said second silver halide emulsion layer being a DIR layer which comprises a DIR compound and a silver halide emulsion, said DIR layer not substantially contributing to image formation, said DIR layer being adjacent, or adjacent with the interposition of an interlayer to said first silver halide emulsion layer, said DIR layer being closer to said support than said first silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The material of claim 1 wherein said first silver halide emulsion layer consists of two silver halide emulsion sub-layers and the difference in the speeds of said two sub-layers is from 0.2 to 1.5 in terms of Δlog E.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The material of claim 2 wherein said difference is from 0.3 to 1.0 in terms of Δlog E.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The material of claim 1 wherein a development inhibitor or a compound capable of releasing a development inhibitor is split off from said DIR compound upon reaction with the oxidized product of a color developing agent and has a diffusibility of not less than 0.34.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The material of claim 4 wherein said diffusibility is not less than 0.40.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
86 words
The material of claim 1 wherein said DIR compound is represented by the following Formula D-1 A-(Y)m wherein A is a coupler residue and Y is a development inhibiting group or a group capable of releasing a development inhibiting group, in which said group represented by Y is bonded in the coupling position of coupler residue and capable of being split off from said coupler residue upon reaction with the oxidized product of a color developing agent, and m is an integer of 1 or 2.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
The material of claim 1 wherein a coating weight of said silver halide emulsion contained in said DIR layer is within the range of from 0.01 g/m 2 to 3.0 g/m 2 in terms of silver.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The material of claim 7 wherein said coating weight is within the range of from 0.05 g/m 2 to 1.5 g/m 2 in terms of silver.
