Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A light-sensitive material consisting essentially of (1) a support having a hydrophilic surface, and (2) in order on said surface a first light-sensitive layer adjacent said support containing an O-quinone diazide compound alone or in admixture with resin, said first light-sensitive layer containing 20 to 100% by weight of the ortho-quinone diazide compound, the alkali solubility of said compound being increased upon irradiation with active rays, a non-light sensitive organic coating layer over said first light-sensitive layer, and a second light-sensitive layer containing an O-quinone diazide compound alone or in admixture with resin, said second light-sensitive layer containing 20 to 100% by weight of the orthoquinone diazide compound, the alkali solubility of said compound being increased upon irradiation with active rays, over said organic coating layer, said organic coating layer comprising a water-insoluble but organic solvent-soluble high molecular weight compound having film forming properties and further having the property that it is either permeable to an alkaline developer or is dissolved in or swelled by an alkaline developer, the thickness of each of said layers on said support ranging from about 0.1 g/m.sup. 2 to 7.0 g/m 2 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The light-sensitive material of claim 1, wherein said support is an aluminum sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The light-sensitive material of claim 1, wherein said O-quinone diazide compound is an ester of an aromatic polyhydroxy compound and an O-quinone diazide sulfonic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The light-sensitive material of claim 4, wherein said O-quinone diazide compound is 2,2'-dihydroxy-diphenyl-bis-(naphthoquinone-1,2-diaxide-5-sulfonic acid ester), 2,3,4-trioxybenzophenone-bis-(naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonic acid ester), 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene-bis-(naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide- 5-sulfonic acid ester), the ester of a phenolformaldehyde resin and naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonic acid, or the naphthoquinone -1,2-diazide-5-sulfonic acid ester of the polyhydroxyphenyl obtained by the condensation of acetone and pyrogallol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The light sensitive material of claim 1, wherein said first and second light-sensitive layer comprises said O-quinone diazide compound and an organic resin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
