Since the photosensitive resin layer is positioned on the transparent conductive film side and the ultraviolet absorber layer is positioned on the transparent substrate side, the photosensitive resin layer can be appropriately cured during pattern exposure, Transmission of ultraviolet rays to the opposite side with respect to the transparent substrate can be effectively suppressed. In addition, when the thickness of the intermediate resin layer is constant, the thickness of the photosensitive resin layer can be reduced according to the thickness of the ultraviolet absorber layer. Therefore, the step between the transparent electrode and the non-electrode portion can be kept small after the pattern exposure step and the subsequent development. Therefore, it can suppress that the pattern appearance of a transparent electrode arises.
  • the intermediate resin layer (33) further includes a non-photosensitive resin layer (38) laminated on the opposite side of the photosensitive resin layer (34) with respect to the ultraviolet absorber layer (37).
  • the thickness of the intermediate resin layer when the thickness of the intermediate resin layer is constant, the thickness of the photosensitive resin layer can be further reduced according to the thickness of the non-photosensitive resin layer and the ultraviolet absorber layer. Therefore, the step between the transparent electrode and the non-electrode portion can be further reduced. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the appearance of the transparent electrode pattern.
  • the photosensitive conductive film according to the present disclosure preferably includes the following components.
  • a photosensitive conductive film (3) A base film (31); A transparent conductive film (32) disposed on the base film (31); A photosensitive layer (33) with a UV-cut function, which is disposed on the transparent conductive film (32) and contains a photosensitive resin and an ultraviolet absorber; Is provided.
  • the UV cut function is applied to both sides of the transparent substrate from the transparent substrate side.
  • a laminate in which the photosensitive layer and the transparent conductive film are laminated in this order is formed.
  • a pair of masks are provided so as to cover the UV-cut photosensitive layer and the transparent conductive film on both sides of the laminate, and pattern exposure is performed from both sides, thereby obtaining a pair obtained separately on both sides of the transparent substrate after development.
  • the transparent electrodes can be easily aligned with each other.
  • the photosensitive layer with UV cut function containing the photosensitive resin provided in both surfaces of a transparent substrate further contains an ultraviolet absorber, one patterning of a pair of transparent electrodes and the other patterning mutually Influencing each other can be suppressed. Therefore, the patterning of the pair of transparent electrodes obtained separately on both surfaces of the transparent substrate can be appropriately performed. Since there are few exposure processes and there are almost no restrictions on the apparatus as long as exposure can be performed from both sides, a pair of transparent electrodes can be easily formed, and the manufacture of the touch input sensor can be simplified. Therefore, it is possible to provide a photosensitive conductive film suitable for a method of manufacturing a touch input sensor that can be easily manufactured and can easily align a pair of transparent electrodes.
  • the photosensitive conductive film also has a suitable configuration ([2], [4] to [6]) described regarding the manufacturing method of the touch input sensor described above.
  • the “transparent substrate (10) side” in the configuration of [4] may be read as “the side opposite to the base film (31)”.
  • the touch input sensor manufacturing method and photosensitive conductive film according to the present disclosure only have to exhibit at least one of the effects described above.
  • the technology according to the present disclosure can be used to form a pair of transparent electrodes, for example, in the manufacture of a touch input sensor.
