Thermally developable color photosensitive materials with U.V. absorbers

A thermally developable color photosensitive material comprising a support, having thereon a photosensitive silver halide, a binder, an electron transfer agent, an electron donor and a reducible dye donating compound which is capable of being reduced and releasing a diffusible dye, wherein the reducible dye donating compound and a compound represented by the following formula(1) are present together in the form of an emulsified dispersion in the binder;

• ##STR12## wherein R.sub.1 -R.sub.5, which which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic group, an aromatic group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkylamino group, a nitro group, a carboxamido group, a sulfonamido group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfonic acid group or ester or salt thereof, a carboxylic acid group or ester or salt thereof, or a heterocyclic group, any of R.sub.3 -R.sub.5 may undergo ring closure with adjoining groups to form five or six membered rings, dimers or larger oligomers may be formed by bonding between any of the substituent groups R.sub.1 -R.sub.5, and polymeric compounds may be formed by bonding into a polymer chain with any of R.sub.1 -R.sub.5.
