Internal latent image-type direct positive silver halide light-sensitive material

Claim 1

An internal latent image-type direct positive silver halide light-sensitive material comprising a support having at least one photographic emulsion layer coated thereon, wherein said photographic emulsion layer contains internal latent image-type direct positive silver halide grains, the surfaces of which are chemically sensitized, wherein a stabilizing compound represented by the general formula (I) is added as a finish additive to the photographic emulsion layer or at least one hydrophilic colloid layer adjacent to the photographic emulsion layer, ##STR20## wherein: R 1 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical, an aromatic radical, a nitrogen atom-containing 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic radical, or an acyl group; R 2 is a hydrogen atom, a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical, or an aromatic radical; R 3 is the same as defined for R 1 or R 2 ; R 2 and R 3 may combine together to form a heterocyclic ring; and R 1 to R 3 and the heterocyclic ring formed from R 2 and R 3 may be substituted, provided that when R 2 is an aromatic radical, the substituent does not include a group with hydrazine or its derivative linked thereto.
