Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a silver halide color light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a silver halide color light-sensitive material which is suitable for use with small, light-weight and handy cameras and which has an improved transportability in an automatic processor (hereinafter sometimes merely called `light-sensitive material`); a photographic film cartridge in which is loaded the above light-sensitive material; and a photographing unit or a camera unit comprising the film cartridge.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In recent years, camera products have been made smaller in size and handier for portability improvement, leading to sharply increasing photographing opportunities. And yet camera users desire still more compact cameras, so that studies on how to miniaturize cameras without sacrificing their high image quality is now widely under way. Since the 135-size roll film for general use is loaded in a standard film magazine, it is a stumbling block to designing a new camera with its body thinner than that of conventional ones. In order to make the magazine smaller, it is most simple and effective to thin the film, i.e., light-sensitive material, to be loaded therein, which can be carried out by making its support thinner than conventional thickness of about 120 .mu.m.
However, if the support is thinned, the physical balance between the support and the photographic component layers becomes unstable or lost to tend to cause defects such as curling, cracks, emulsion peelings, wrinkles, etc., on the light-sensitive material. These defects results in film transport troubles occurring in the manufacture/packaging process of the light-sensitive material, in the film winding/take-up process inside a camera, and also in the film processing/drying process in a photofinishing laboratory to thus cause scratches or distortion to appear on the image surface of the film.
Particularly in the case of a perforated roll-form color light-sensitive material, it has become apparent that its margins with perforations sometimes are found creased or broken on the transport rollers inside the drying process of an automatic processor. The above is considered a trouble peculiar to a thin support due to the fact that there occurs no trouble of the type mentioned above in a color light-sensitive material having a conventional thick support.
It has also become apparent that the thin support-having light-sensitive material, particularly if loaded to remain for a long period of time inside a small magazine or cartridge with a limited capacity, a plastic cartridge, or a camera unit, is liable to get curled under a high temperature or low humidity condition. If the film is curled inside a cartridge, it is subjected to undesirable load at the time of winding or take-up of it, thus causing the film to get scratched or to form an out-of-focus image thereon at the time of exposure.
In order to restrain curling or prevent edge crease from occurring in the developing process, it is considered necessary to provide a backing layer on the opposite side of the support to photographic component layers, but where the support is a thin one, the backing layer to be provided needs to have nearly the same thickness as the total thickness of the photographic component layers for obtaining an objective effect, which not only lessens the merit for making cameras smaller, lighter-weight and handier but causes the backing layer surface to be subject to tar stain that may be attributable to the developer solution. Accordingly, resolution of the above problems is essential for carrying out the development of a small, light-weight and handy camera.

Samples 11 to 18 correspond to FIGS. 1a to 1h, respectively, wherein Sample 11 (comparative sample) corresponding to FIG. 1a is a standard 135-size film, which is different in the number of perforations, i.e., the ratio of the total area thereof, from Samples 12 to 18.
Each of Samples 11 to 18 was cut into a film strip of meters in length, and loaded in an ordinary metallic cartridge for 135-size film at 23.degree. C./60%RH.
Ten pieces of each of the above cartridge-loaded film Samples 11 to 18 were prepared for making test pattern exposure by using a camera `KONICA Big-Mini BM201` having its sprockets removed for testing use. The imagewise exposed samples were taken out of the cartridges and spliced by means of a splicer MS650D, manufactured by Sanyu Co., into one extended roll, which was then processed in a cine autoprocessor NCV-36, manufactured by Noritsu Koki Co.
The processing was made using the procedure and processing solutions for color negative film processing use described in the Annual of the British Journal of Photography, p. 196-198 (1988).
In the drying process of the cine autoprocessor, the edge crease or damage condition of each sample was observed, and then it was found that Sample 11 showed edge crease: whereas Samples 12 to 18, whose perforations total area's ratio is in the range of the invention, showed no such trouble at all and were well transported.
In similar manner, Sample 11A having a perforations total area's ratio of 6.2% (comparative example) and Sample 11B of 5.7% (sample for invention) were prepared.
The film transport tensiton of the foregoing cine autoprocessor was made 20% higher than its standard specification to create a condition for making film edge crease liable to occur, and the above Samples 11 to 18, 11A and 11B were tested under the condition. As a result, Sample 11 showed conspicuous edge creases, in Sample 11A seven out of its ten pieces showed edge creases and in Sample 11B only one out of its ten pieces showed slight edge creases, whereas Samples 12 to 18 showed no such defects at all. In addition, in Samples 11 and 11A slight emulsion peelings were found around perforations, but in Samples 12 to 18 for the invention there were found no peelings at all.
Example 2
Light-sensitive material samples (Samples 21 to 28) were prepared in the same manner as in Samples 11 to 18 of Example 1 except that backing layers 1 and 2 having the following compositions were formed on the reverse side of each of Samples 11 to 18, and tested in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, similar effects to Example 1 were obtained.

The synthesis of the copolymer was carried out in the following manner: Water was put in a condenser-equipped open flask; the water was deaired; the above mixture was added to the water; and subjected to emulsion polymerization at 80.degree. C. for 5 hours, whereby a resin for subbing containing 30 wt. % dried solid was obtained.
Subsequently, on the first subbing layer on each side of the support a coating liquid prepared by dissolving 50 g of the following water-soluble polymer compound in 500 ml of water and mixing the aqueous solution into 9.5 liters of a methanol solution containing 400 g of resorcinol was coated at a rate of 20 meters per minute with use of a roll coater and then dried, whereby a second subbing layer was provided. ##STR4##
The above obtained both-sided subbed support was used to provide photographic component layers thereon to prepare Samples 31 to 38, 31A and 31B, and these samples were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, the effect of the invention was advantageously obtained.

Samples 41 to 45 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the perforations are single perforations. Samples 41 to 45 correspond to FIGS. 1i to 1m, respectively.
In the drying process of the cine autoprocessor, the edge crease or damage conditions of each sample was examined in the same manner as in Example 1, and then it was found that Samples 41 to 45, whose perforations' total area ratios are in the range of the invention, showed no such trouble at all and were well transported.
