Abstract

To suppress change in a surface resistance value under a high-temperature or high-humidity environment in a transparent conductive piezoelectric film including a transparent piezoelectric film made of a fluororesin. A transparent conductive piezoelectric film includes a transparent piezoelectric film made of a fluororesin, a transparent coating layer, and a transparent electrode stacked in this order. The total thickness of the coating layer is 0.6 to 4.5 μm. When the transparent conductive piezoelectric film is left to stand in a specific high-temperature environment, the ratio of a resistance value after being left in the environment to a ratio of a resistance value before being left in the environment is 1.30 or less.
