Squarylium compounds of the formula: wherein Q1 and Q2 are each independently a pyrylium, thiopyrylium, selenopyrylium, benzpyrylium, benzthiopyrylium or benzselenopyrylium nucleus, and R1 and R2 are each independently an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group, can be prepared by reacting a squaric acid derivative of the formula: with a compound of the formula Q2CH2R2 in the presence of a base. The derivatives of Formula II may be prepared by condensing a 2,3,4,4-tetrahalocyclobut-2-en-1-one with a compound of the formula Q1CH2R1 in the presence of a base to produce a compound of the formula: wherein Q1 and R1 are as defined above, and X represents chlorine or bromine, and hydrolyzing the compound of Formula III. Alternatively, the derivatives of Formula II may be prepared by reacting a diester, monoacid chloride monoester or diacid chloride of squaric acid with a compound of the formula Q1CH2R1 in the presence of a base, followed by hydrolysis of the resultant monoacid chloride or monoester derivative of the compound of Formula II to the parent compound.

摘要:
A three-dimensional image is produced using an imaging medium having a lenticular screen, the lenticles of the screen dividing the opposed surface of the imaging medium into a plurality of elongate image areas, the imaging medium having on the opposed side thereof a radiation-sensitive layer, the radiation-sensitive layer comprising a color-forming composition adapted to undergo a change of color upon increase in the temperature of the radiation-sensitive layer above a color-forming temperature for a color-forming time. The radiation-sensitive layer is imagewise exposed to actinic radiation which does not pass through the lenticular screen, thereby causing the color-forming composition to undergo its change in color in exposed areas and to form in the radiation-sensitive layer a composite image, the composite image comprising, in each of the image areas, a plurality of image strips extending lengthwise along the image area, each of the image strips containing information from a view of the object, each of the plurality of image strips in one image area containing information from a different view of the object thereby forming a copy of the composite image in the radiation-sensitive layer, so that a three-dimensional orthoscopic image of the object will appear to an observer seeing the composite image in the radiation-sensitive layer through the lenticular screen.
摘要:
Leuco dyes are provided which comprise the coupling product of a N-acyl substituted aromatic amino color developer and a dye-forming coupler moiety substituted at the coupling carbon with a thermally removable leaving group. Thermal imaging systems employing these leuco dyes have the advantage of reduced bubble formation relative to thermal imaging systems employing prior art leuco dyes containing a group which thermally fragments into one or more gases.
摘要:
An imaging medium capable of being imaged to form a transparency comprises a substantially transparent support having a thickness of at least about 20 .mu.m, a color-forming layer superposed on the support and comprising a color-forming composition adapted to undergo a change of color upon increase in the temperature of the color-forming layer above a color-forming temperature for a color-forming time; and a bubble-suppressant layer superposed on the color-forming layer and having a thickness of at least about 10 .mu.m. Upon imagewise increase in the temperature of the color-forming layer above the color-forming temperature for the color-forming time, in heated regions the color-forming layer undergoes its change of color but remains essentially free from bubbles, thereby providing an image in which the colored regions are not blackened when viewed in transmission.
摘要:
A slide blank comprises a support at least part of which is essentially transparent; an imageable layer superposed on one face of the support, the imageable layer not being substantially photosensitive but comprising a color-forming composition, which, upon imagewise exposure to actinic radiation, forms a colored material, thereby forming in the imageable layer an image which can be viewed in transmission; and a protective layer superposed on the imageable layer on the opposed side thereof from the support, at least part of the protective layer being essentially transparent; the support, imageable layer and protective layer being secured together to form a slide blank having a thickness of at least about 0.8 mm, and the thickness of the protective layer being such that no part of the imageable layer containing the color-forming composition is more than about 0.2 mm from one external surface of the slide blank. This slide blank can be imaged to produce a ready-mounted slide.
