Abstract

A transparent conductive film ( 3 ) includes a polycrystal ( 31 ). The polycrystal ( 31 ) has grains ( 32 ). The grains ( 32 ) have an average value Df of a maximum Feret diameter of 160 to 400 nm.

Claims (13)

1. A laminate comprising:

a supporting member; and

a transparent conductive film comprising a polycrystal, the transparent conductive film being disposed on the supporting member, wherein

the polycrystal has grains having an average value of a maximum Feret diameter of more than 200 nm and less than or equal to 400 nm,

the polycrystal has a gain boundary extending among the grains in a net-like manner,

a water vapor transmission rate of the laminate is 0.0010 to 0.0250 g/(m 2 ·24 hours), the water vapor transmission rate being determined according to ISO 15106-5: 2015, and

the support member has a water vapor transmission rate of 1 g/(m 2 ·24 hours) or more as determined according to ISO 15106-5: 2015.

2. The laminate according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the polycrystal includes indium oxide.

3. The laminate according to claim 1 , having a density of 7.15 g/cm3 or more.

4. The laminate according to claim 1 , having a thickness of 20 to 150 nm.

5. The laminate according to claim 1 , having an internal stress of 150 to 1000 MPa as determined by an X-ray stress measuring method.
