Abstract:
A method for forming a color image comprising exposing a color photographic material, wherein the color photographic material comprises a support having provided thereon at least (1) a photosensitive layer capable of forming a yellow image by imagewise exposure and processing, (2) a photosensitive layer capable of forming a magenta image by imagewise exposure and processing, and (3) a photosensitive layer capable of forming a cyan image by imagewise exposure and processing, each of said photosensitive layers is sensitive to the radiant rays in the range of from 380 to 900 nm, each photosensitive layer has different wavelength corresponding to the maximum spectral sensitivity, the maximum spectral sensitivities of photosensitive layers (1) to (3) gradually diminish from the photosensitive layer having the maximum spectral sensitivity at the shortest wavelength to the photosensitive layer having the maximum spectral sensitivity at the longest wavelength, and exposure is performed by using at least three organic light emitting devices, wherein said at least three organic light emitting devices are in dot array state each having peak wavelength of emission spectrum within the wavelength region corresponding to the spectral sensitivity of each photosensitive layer, and the emission strength of emission spectrum of said organic light emitting device gradually increases from the organic light emitting device emitting light at the shortest wavelength region to the organic light emitting device emitting light at the longest wavelength region.
