Microcapsules and sensitized light-sensitive material containing the same, and the use thereof to form multi-color images

摘要

Photosensitive microcapsules having radiation absorbers associated therewith such that the sensitivity of the microcapsules is reduced over a portion of their spectral sensitivity range; the spectral sensitivity of the microcapsules is thereby adjusted such that three sets of microcapsules having distinctly different spectral sensitivities and individually containing color formers for full color imaging can be provided on a single support surface and discriminately exposed in a manner which corresponds to the red, green and blue components of an original.
