Abstract

A transparent conductive film includes a first transparent resin layer including a plurality of thin metallic wires, a second transparent resin layer containing a conductive polymer, and a third transparent resin layer provided between the first transparent resin layer and the second transparent resin layer. The second transparent resin layer contains a resin which is soluble in water, and the third transparent resin layer contains a resin which is insoluble in water or has water resistance. The third transparent resin layer can suppress mixing of the second transparent resin layer with the first transparent resin layer and can make the second transparent resin layer less likely to be damaged by the first transparent resin layer. Therefore, a surface of the second transparent resin layer is made smooth and electrical conductivity is made uniform.

Claims (12)

1. A transparent conductive film comprising:

a first transparent resin layer comprising metallic nanowires or carbon nanotubes;

a second transparent resin layer comprising a conductive polymer; and

a third transparent resin layer provided between the first transparent resin layer and the second transparent resin layer, wherein

at least one of the first transparent resin layer and the second transparent resin layer comprises a resin which is soluble in water, and

the third transparent resin layer comprises a resin which is insoluble in water or has water resistance and is formed as a porous layer with pores having a diameter not less than 0.5 nm and not greater than 1 μm.

2. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the third transparent resin layer is not less than 5 nm and not greater than 1 μm.

3. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein a contact angle with respect to water on a surface of the third transparent resin layer is not greater than 75°.

4. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the third transparent resin layer comprises a binder composed of a silicone resin.

5. A transparent conductive film-attached substrate in which the transparent conductive film according to claim 1 is formed on a substrate.

6. An organic electroluminescence element comprising the transparent conductive film-attached substrate according to claim 5 .

7. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein part of the metallic nanowires or part of the carbon nanotubes protrude from a surface of the first transparent resin layer, extend through the third transparent layer, and protrude from a surface of the third transparent layer opposite to a surface of that layer facing the first transparent resin layer.
