Abstract
Direct positive photographic elements with improved spectral sensitivity in the green and red portion of the visible spectrum are obtained from emulsions containing a supersensitizing amount of a spectral sensitizing dye (a) having a solution absorption maximum less than 495 nm and the lowest vacant energy band less than -3.7 eV, and a sensitizing amount of a spectral sensitizing dye (b) having a lowest vacant energy band between -3.7 eV and 0.3 eV below the lowest vacant energy band of said spectral sensitizing dye (a) and with the highest occupied energy band between -5.9 eV and 0.3 eV above the highest occupied energy level of dye (a).
