BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having a silver halide emulsion layer consisting of tabular grains having dislocations and containing a cyan coupler having a specific condensed ring structure. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recent silver halide color light-sensitive materials have not only so-called fresh performance such as sensitivity, sharpness, graininess and color reproducibility but also various tactiness (for example, excellent storage performance of sensitive material). That the photographic performance is stable against physical stimuli such as scratches and folds that occur when the film is handled, that the photographic performance has little processing dependence, and that the image fastness is excellent. There is.

By the way, these photographic performances largely depend on the coupler.

Phenolic compounds and naphthol compounds are widely known as cyan couplers for forming color images (TH James, "The Theory of the Photographic Process", 4th Edition, 358).
~ 361). More recently, for example, US Pat.
The phenol type cyan couplers having a specific ureido group at the 2-position described in No. 33,999 have been widely used for the purpose of preventing reduction and fading during processing and improving the dark fastness of color images. However, the color forming performance of these cyan couplers is not so high, and couplers that enable higher sensitivity and higher color density have been demanded.

As a result of intensive investigations, the present inventors have found that a specific fused ring compound having a pyrrole ring as a constituent can provide high color density or high sensitivity. However, in a light-sensitive material containing such a coupler, it was found that fog is apt to occur when the emulsion surface is scratched, in other words, the pressure performance is poor. Moreover, this tendency becomes greater as the sensitivity becomes higher, and countermeasures are strongly desired.

[0006]

The light-sensitive material of the present invention contains a color light-sensitive material and has a light-sensitive material packaging unit having an exposure function, for example, a lens and an exposure as seen in "Sharan-Hi" manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. It can be used in a unit containing a light-sensitive material having a function and a flash function.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

The emulsion of the present invention contains one or more tabular silver halide grains having an aspect ratio of 2 or more. Here, the tabular silver halide grains are a general term for silver halide grains having one twin plane or two or more parallel twin planes. The twin plane means the (111) plane when ions at all lattice points on both sides of the (111) plane have a mirror image relationship. When viewed from above, the tabular grains have a triangular shape, a hexagonal shape, or a rounded-circular shape, a triangular shape is a triangular shape, and a hexagonal shape is a hexagonal shape.
Circular shapes have circular outer surfaces that are parallel to each other.

In the present invention, the aspect ratio of a tabular grain is obtained as a value obtained by dividing the grain diameter of each tabular grain having a grain thickness of less than 0.5 μm and a grain diameter of 0.3 μm or more. . The thickness of the particles is measured by evaporating the metal from the diagonal direction of the particles together with the latex for reference, measuring the shadow length on an electron micrograph, and calculating by referring to the shadow length of the latex. You can easily.

The particle diameter in the present invention is the diameter of a circle having an area equal to the projected area of the parallel outer surfaces of the particles.

The projected area of the particles can be obtained by measuring the area on an electron micrograph and correcting the photographing magnification.

The diameter of tabular grains is 0.3 to 5.0 μm.
It is preferably m. The thickness of the tabular grain is 0.
The thickness is preferably 05 to 0.5 μm.

The proportion of tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 2 or more in the present invention in the emulsion is preferably 50%, particularly preferably 80% or more of the projected area of all silver halide grains in the emulsion. Further, the aspect ratio of tabular grains occupying these constant areas is preferably 3 or more and less than 8. Further, more preferable results may be obtained by using monodisperse tabular grains. The structure and manufacturing method of monodisperse tabular grains are described in, for example, JP-A No. 63-151618. Briefly describing the shape, 70% or more of the total projected area of silver halide grains is the minimum. Occupied by tabular silver halide having a hexagonal shape in which the ratio of the side having the maximum length to the length of the side having the length is 2 or less, and having two parallel parallel surfaces as outer surfaces, Furthermore, the coefficient of variation of the grain size distribution of the hexagonal tabular silver halide grains (the value obtained by dividing the variation (standard deviation) in grain size represented by the circle-converted diameter of the projected area by the average grain size) is 20% or less. It is monodisperse.

Further, the tabular grains of the present invention have dislocations.

The dislocations of tabular grains are described, for example, in J. F.
Hamilton, Pht. Sci. Eng. , 11,
57, (1967) and T.W. Shiozawa, J .; So
c. Photo. Sci. Japan, 35, 213,
It can be observed by a direct method using a transmission electron microscope at low temperature described in (1972). In other words, the silver halide grains taken out carefully so as not to apply pressure enough to cause dislocations to the grains from the emulsion are placed on a mesh for electron microscope observation, and the sample is placed so as to prevent damage (for example, printout) due to electron beams. Observation is carried out by the transmission method in the cooled state. In this case, the thicker the particles, the more difficult it is for the electron beam to pass therethrough. Therefore, it is possible to more clearly observe using a high-voltage electron microscope (200 kV or more for particles having a thickness of 0.25 μ). . From the photograph of the grain obtained by such a method, the position of dislocation in each grain when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the principal plane can be determined.

The positions of dislocations in the tabular grains of the present invention occur in the major axis direction of the tabular grains from the distance x% of the length from the center to the side to the side, and this value of x is preferably. 10 ≦ x <100, more preferably 30 ≦
x <98, and more preferably 50 ≦ x <95. At this time, the shape formed by connecting the positions where the dislocations start is similar to the particle shape, but it may be distorted rather than the perfect shape. The direction of the dislocation line is approximately from the center to the side, but it often meanders.

The number of dislocations in the tabular grains of the present invention is 1
It is preferable that 50% (number) or more of grains containing 0 or more dislocations are present. 80% (number) or more of grains containing 10 or more dislocations are more preferable, and 20 is particularly preferable.
It is preferable that 80% (the number) or more of grains containing one or more dislocations are present.

For the tabular silver halide emulsion used in the present invention, either silver iodobromide or silver iodochlorobromide silver halide may be used. Preferred silver halide is 30 mol%
The following is silver iodobromide containing silver iodide or silver iodochlorobromide.

The silver iodide content of the tabular silver halide grains used in the present invention can be measured by analyzing the composition of each grain using, for example, an X-ray microanalyzer.

The specific method for measuring the silver iodide content of individual grains is as follows. First, a sample emulsion is diluted 5 times with distilled water, a proteolytic enzyme such as pronase is added, and the mixture is kept at 40 ° C. for 3 hours to decompose gelatin. Next, the sample is centrifuged to precipitate the emulsion particles, the supernatant is removed, and then distilled water is added again to redisperse the emulsion particles in the distilled water. After repeating this water washing operation twice, the sample is dispersed on the sample table. After drying, carbon vapor deposition is performed and the measurement is performed by an X-ray micro analyzer. The X-ray micro analyzer may use a general commercially available device, and no special specifications are required. The present invention includes Shimadzu X-ray micro analyzer EMX-SM.
Was used. The measurement is performed by irradiating each particle with an electron beam and measuring the characteristic X-ray intensity of each element in the particle excited by the electron beam with a wavelength dispersive X-ray detector. The analyzing crystal used for the analysis of each element and the wavelength of the characteristic X-ray of each element are described in Table 1 of JP-A-60-254032. In order to determine the silver iodide content from the characteristic X-ray intensity of each element, the same measurement was previously carried out for grains of known silver iodide content, and the calibration curve as shown in FIG. Can be created and calculated from the calibration curve. The average silver iodide content can be determined as the average silver iodide content by measuring the silver iodide content of at least 100 emulsion grains. At the same time, the standard deviation of the silver iodide content is divided by the average silver iodide content and multiplied by 100 to obtain the relative standard deviation of the silver iodide content of each grain.

The average silver iodide content of the tabular silver halide grains having dislocations of the present invention is preferably 1 mol% or more and 30 mol% or less, more preferably 5 mol% or more and 15 mol% or less.

The emulsion of the present invention preferably has a narrow silver iodide content distribution among silver halide grains. The relative standard deviation of the silver iodide content of each grain is preferably 35% or less, more preferably 20% or less, and particularly preferably 12% or less.

The silver halide emulsion of the present invention may have a structure with respect to the halogen composition in the grains.

[Chemical formula 45] Next, as shown in Tables 2 to 4, samples 102 to 130 were prepared by changing the fifth layer from the sample 101. That is, in producing the samples 102 to 130, the coupler E of the fifth layer was used.
The xC-3 and emulsion were modified as shown in Tables 2-4. Here, in Samples 101 to 130, the silver coating amount (g / m ² ), gelatin coating amount (g / m ² ) and coupler coating amount (mol / m ² ) of the fifth layer were constant.

Samples 101 to 130 were exposed to white light through a wedge for sensitometry at an exposure of 10 CMS for 1/100 second, and then subjected to the following development processing.

Next, the developed samples 101 to 130 were subjected to sensitometry, and the sensitivity was determined by the reciprocal of the exposure amount giving a cyan density of fog + 0.2.
Tables 2 to 4 show the relative sensitivities when the sensitivity of 1 was 100.

The pressure resistance test was conducted as follows. After the unexposed sample was placed in an atmosphere having a relative humidity of 55% for 3 hours or more, a load of 8 g was applied with a needle having a thickness of 0.1 mmφ in the same atmosphere, and the emulsion surface was scratched at a speed of 1 cm / sec. After developing this sample, the density was measured with red light through an aperture of 25 μmφ. Next, the fog density difference ΔR from the non-scratched portion was obtained. Therefore Δ
The smaller R is, the better the pressure resistance of the emulsion surface against scratching is.

[Table 4] From Tables 2 to 4, it can be seen that by using the cyan coupler of the present invention in place of the conventional cyan coupler, the sensitivity is improved, but fog is increased due to scratching (pressure resistance is lowered). On the other hand, by combining the cyan coupler of the present invention with an emulsion composed of tabular grains containing dislocations, it is understood that an increase in fog due to scratches can be suppressed while significantly improving the sensitivity.
