Claims
- 1. A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support, and provided thereon, a silver halide emulsion layer and optionally a non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layer provided on the support adjacent to said silver halide emulsion layer, wherein
- said silver halide emulsion layer comprises a silver halide emulsion chemically sensitized in the presence of a water-insoluble sulfur sensitizer which is added to the silver halide emulsion in a form of a dispersion of solid particles; and
- when the non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layer is not provided, said silver halide emulsion layer contains a hydrazine compound and when the non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layer is provided, at least one of said silver halide emulsion layer and said non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layer adjacent to said silver halide emulsion layer contains the hydrazine compound.
- 2. The light-sensitive material of claim 1, wherein said sulfur sensitizer is a water-insoluble thiourea derivative or elemental sulfur.
- 3. The light-sensitive material of claim 2, wherein said sulfur sensitizer is elemental sulfur.
- 4. The light-sensitive material of claim 2, wherein said sulfur sensitizer is a thiourea derivative represented by Formula I: ##STR44## wherein R.sup.1 is a residue of heterocyclic group including a nitrogen atom or a sulfur atom; R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, an allyl group or an aryl group; R.sup.3 is synonymous with R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 and R.sup.2 may be combined with R.sup.3 to form a heterocyclic ring.
- 5. The light-sensitive material of claim 1, wherein said fine particles of a water-insoluble sulfur sensitizer have an average diameter of 0.050 .mu.m to 0.6 .mu.m.
- 6. The light-sensitive material of claim 1, wherein a redox compound capable of releasing a development inhibiting agent upon oxidation reaction of the redox compound is contained in said silver halide emulsion layer or said hydrophilic layer adjacent to said silver halide emulsion layer.
- 7. The light-sensitive material of claim 6, wherein said redox compound is contained in the silver halide emulsion layer provided at the position nearest to the support or said hydrophilic layer adjacent to said silver halide emulsion layer.
- 8. The light sensitive material of claim 4 wherein said thiourea derivative is selected from the group consisting of ##STR45##
- 9. The light-sensitive material of claim 8, wherein said fine particles of a water-insoluble sulfur sensitizer have an average diameter of 0.050 .mu.m to 0.6 .mu.m.
- 10. The light-sensitive material of claim 3, wherein said fine particles of a water-insoluble sulfur sensitizer have an average diameter of 0.050 .mu.m to 0.6 .mu.m.
- 11. The light sensitive material of claim 1 wherein the hydrazine compound is ##STR46##
