Details of the fluorescent X-ray analysis are described in Examples.
- the content ratio of the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon in the inorganic oxide (transparent conductive layer 1A) is, for example, 0.0001 atom % or more, preferably 0.001 atom % or more, or, for example, 1. 0 atom% or less, more preferably 0.7 atom% or less, still more preferably 0.5 atom% or less, even more preferably 0.3 atom% or less, particularly preferably 0.2 atom% or less, most preferably 0 .15 atom % or less.
