Abstract
A light-sensitive material contains silver halide, a reducing agent, an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound or/and a cross-linkable polymer, and a base or/and a base precursor. According to the present invention, the light-sensitive material comprises a support, a polymerizable layer and a light-sensitive layer in the order. The polymerizable layer contains the ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound or/and the cross-linkable polymer. The light-sensitive layer contains silver halide, and a base or/and a base precursor. The reducing agent is contained in the polymerizable layer or/and the light-sensitive layer. A protective layer is preferably provided on the light-sensitive layer. The light-sensitive material of the present invention is heat-developable. The present invention is based on a new discovery that a light-sensitive material comprising a polymerizable layer and a light-sensitive layer can be developed by heat. An image forming method using the light-sensitive material is also disclosed.
