Electron beam recording film with low visual and ultraviolet density

摘要

An imaging element for use in an electron-beam-recording process is comprised of a film support having, in order, on one side thereof a conductive layer comprising vanadium pentoxide, an adhesion-promoting hydrophilic colloid layer and an imaging layer. The imaging layer is comprised of an electron-beam-sensitive silver halide emulsion and the vanadium pentoxide is present in the conductive layer in an amount sufficient to impart thereto a resistivity of less than 5x108 OMEGA /sq. The imaging element is free of objectionable visual density, UV density and mottle and can be manufactured without the need for organic solvents.
