Abstract

A silver halide photosensitive material having an improved antistatic property is disclosed, comprising a base support having thereon an electrically conductive layer comprised of fine particles of a crystalline metal oxide selected from the group consisting of ZnO, TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, SnO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, In.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, MgO, BaO and MoO.sub.3 or a composite oxide thereof dispersed in a binder, the light scattering efficiency of said photosensitive material being 50% or less. The electrically conductive layer gives excellent antistatic properties even under low humidity preventing the generation of static charges without damaging photographic properties of the silver halide photosensitive material.

Dependent claims

A silver halide photosensitive element having an improved antistatic property comprising a silver halide layer, a base support and

an electrically conductive layer on said base support, said electrically conductive layer comprising fine particles of a crystalline metal oxide selected from the group consisting of ZnO, TiO.sub.2, SnO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, ZrO.sub.3, In.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, MgO, BaO and MoO.sub.3 or a composite oxide thereof dispersed in an organic film-forming binder, said electrically conductive layer being formed by dispersing said fine particles of a crystalline metal oxide in said binder and coating the same, the light-scattering efficiency of said photosensitive material being 50% or less, wherein said electrically conductive layer has a surface resistivity of 10.sup.11 .OMEGA. or less at 25.degree. C. under 25% relative humidity.
