In the conventional method, a transparent conductive film 2 of ITO or the like is formed on one entire surface of the transparent insulating substrate 1 by a sputtering method or the like, and then unnecessary portions are removed by wet etching to obtain a predetermined pattern. However, in the touch-side substrate 20 according to the present invention, since the transparent insulating substrate 1 is removed and the transparent conductive film 2 is formed on the circularly polarizing plate 5, the circularly polarizing plate 5 having poor chemical resistance is immersed in an etching solution. Cannot be stacked. In addition, since the circularly polarizing plate 5 has the property of being extremely weak against moisture, it cannot be subjected to wet processing. For this reason, in the present invention, a method of performing patterning by a dry process of forming a resist film 9 on unnecessary portions of the transparent conductive film 2 on the circularly polarizing plate 5 is adopted.

On the other hand, the circularly polarizing plate 5 also has a heat resistance of 1%.
Since a temperature of about 00 ° C. is the limit, when a heat-curable resist ink is used, it must be cured at a temperature of 100 ° C. or less. Therefore, as long as this temperature condition is satisfied, either a resist ink that cures by irradiation with ultraviolet light or a resist ink that cures using both heat and ultraviolet light may be used. For example, a resist ink used for a membrane switch, a keyboard, or the like can be used as a material for a resist film.
