  • Patent number: 5561033
    Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having at least one silver halide emulsion layer formed on a support, said emulsion layer containing tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 3 or more, which occupy at least 50% of the total projected area of all silver halide grains contained in the emulsion layer. The silver halide grains have been subjected to tellurium sensitization using at least butyl-diisopropylphosphinetelluride as a sensitizer, and also to other chemical sensitization.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1994
    Date of Patent: October 1, 1996

  • Patent number: 5432051
    Abstract: A silver halide color photographic material is disclosed having on a support at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a chemically sensitized tabular silver halide emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains having an average diameter of 0.6 .mu.m or less and an average aspect ratio of from 2.0 to 5.0. The tabular silver halide emulsion is chemically sensitized in the presence of at least one spectral sensitizing dye, to provide a high sensitivity/granularity ratio, improved sharpness and stress resistance, and high production stability.

  • Patent number: 5002866
    Abstract: An internal latent image type silver halide photographic emulsion comprising internal latent image type silver halide photographic emulsions containing silver halide grains comprising an internal silver halide nucleus which has been doped with metal ions and/or chemically sensitized and an external silver halide shell which covers at least the light-sensitive sites on the internal nucleus, wherein during production of the silver halide grains the pAg at the end of the surface chemical sensitization stage, which is carried out in the presence of sulfur sensitizing agents, is at least 0.4 higher than the pAg at the beginning of the chemical sensitization stage.
