  • Patent number: 4315070
    Abstract: In high sensitivity color photographic recording materials the undesired color fog density is reduced by highly reactive DIR-compounds having an effective reaction velocity constant k.sub.eff of more than 20,000 [1 . mole.sup.-1 . sec.sup.-1 ] (measured at pH 10.2 by the method described hereinafter) in a concentration of from 10.sup.-5 to 10.sup.-3 mole per mole of silver halide, if contained in a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or in a concentration of from 10.sup.-7 to 10.sup.-5 mole per gram of solids if contained in a silver-halide-free binder layer adjacent to a silver halide emulsion layer.

  • Patent number: 4267264
    Abstract: A high sensitivity color photographic recording medium has at least two red sensitive component silver halide emulsion layer and at least three green sensitive component silver halide emulsion layers, the sensitivity of layers of the same spectral sensitivity increasing in the direction from the layer support upwards and the more sensitive red-sensitive silver halide emulsion being located between two of the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers.

  • Patent number: 4186011
    Abstract: In a color photographic material in which at least one of the partial images yellow, magenta and cyan is produced in a double layer consisting of a first layer of lower sensitivity and a second layer of higher sensitivity and arranged further away from the layer support than said first layer, at least one color unit, preferably the blue-sensitive and/or the green sensitive color unit consists of at least three layers.(a) a first silver halide emulsion layer of low sensitivity containing a color coupler(b) a second silver halide emulsion layer which may contain a color coupler, and(c) a third layer which is free from silver halide, but contains a color coupler,the coupler in said layers a, b and c forming on color development dyes of substantially the same color which is complementary to that of the light to which the layers are sensitive.

  • Patent number: 4186016
    Abstract: In a color photographic material comprising a plurality of light-sensitive and non light-sensitive layers including at least two red sensitive coupler-containing silver halide emulsion layers of different speed, at least two green sensitive coupler-containing silver halide emulsion layers of different speed and a blue sensitive coupler-containing silver halide emulsion layer as well as a yellow filter layer located closer to the support than the blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer but further removed from the support than any of the red sensitive or green sensitive layers, the sensitivity of the cyan partial image is significantly improved if the more sensitive red sensitive together with the more sensitive green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer forms a comparatively more sensitive emulsion layer unit which is located further removed from the support than a corresponding comparatively less sensitive emulsion layer unit formed by the less sensitive green sensitive and the less sensitive red sensi

  • Patent number: 4173479
    Abstract: Improved sensitivity and improved interimage effects are obtained in a multilayer color-photographic recording material having two red-sensitive, two green-sensitive and a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer as well as a yellow filter layer, the more sensitive red-sensitive and the more sensitive green-sensitive layers forming a comparatively more sensitive layer unit arranged further away from the support than each of the less sensitive green-sensitive and the less sensitive red-sensitive layer but nearer to the support than the yellow filter layer underneath the blue-sensitive layer; an additional chloride-containing silver halide emulsion layer of comparatively low sensitivity containing a non-diffusible DIR compound of low reactivity is arranged within the comparatively more sensitive layer unit between the red-sensitive and the green-sensitive layers.

    Date of Patent: November 6, 1979
    Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, A.G.

  • Patent number: 4129446
    Abstract: In a color photographic recording material comprising two red sensitive silverhalide emulsion layers of differing speed and two green sensitive silver halide emulsion layers of differing speed and a blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer wherein each of the silver halide emulsion layers has associated with it a non-diffusing color coupler, and in which the more sensitive red sensitive silverhalide emulsion layer and the more sensitive green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer together form a comparatively more sensitive emulsion layer unit, the sensitivity for red and green light as well as for blue light is increased by placing the yellow filter layer immediately below the comparative more sensitive emulsion layer unit.
