(Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of repeated research to solve the above problems, as will be described later, the transparent conductive layer is not a single ITO layer, but a metal oxide (tin oxide doped with antimony) under the 170 layer. The present invention was achieved based on the knowledge that the above-mentioned problems can be achieved by using a laminated structure with a layer of ATO.

On these substrates, a transparent and conductive A is first layered as a first layer.
A thin film layer of TO is formed, and a second transparent conductive thin film layer of ITO is formed on the thin film layer of ATO. I
Although TO has high conductivity among oxide-based transparent conductors, it lacks stability.

On the other hand, ATO has higher stability than ITO, but its conductivity is only about one-tenth that of ITO, making it difficult to conduct electricity. Therefore, in order to form a conductive layer using ATO alone in order to obtain a highly stable conductive layer, there are problems such as the need to increase the film thickness considerably in order to produce a transparent conductive laminate with good conductivity. Therefore.

If a laminate with a lower resistance value is required, the ITO film can be made thicker. For example, when creating a transparent electrode from a transparent conductive laminate, the first ATO layer is
If the thickness is 00 Å or less, the conductivity of the electrode as a whole is hardly affected. In addition, the first layer ATO layer is the second layer 17
If it is thinner than 0 layer, it will not affect the conductivity of the transparent electrode as a whole.

Therefore, the thickness of the second layer is 170 layers compared to the first layer ATO.
It is preferable that the number of layers is thicker than the thickness of the layer, and the number of layers is several hundred to several thousand.

The stability of is good. However, when using a polymer film such as PET film as a substrate, the temperature cannot be raised too high due to the characteristics of the polymer.

Even if the conductive thin film layer is formed at a fairly low temperature, a stable conductive layer can be obtained, and even in the process of manufacturing final products using a laminate having this conductive thin film layer, the conductive thin film layer is stable, so it is difficult to obtain a stable conductive layer.
