Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a substrate having an ITO with a low ITO pattern visibility, which substrate is formed by a method utilizing a simple technique such as coating, printing or the like, and which method is less burdensome from the viewpoints of cost and process; and to provide a touch panel member using the substrate. The present invention provides a substrate including a region where thin layers are laminated on a transparent ground substrate, which thin layers are, in the order mentioned from the upper surface of the substrate: an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin layer (I); an organic thin layer (II) having a film thickness of from 0.01 to 0.4 μm and a refractive index of from 1.58 to 1.85; and a transparent adhesive thin layer (III) having a refractive index of from 1.46 to 1.52.

Claims (6)

1. A substrate comprising a region where thin layers are laminated on a transparent ground substrate, in which the thin layers are directly in contact in the order mentioned from the upper surface of the substrate, an ITO thin layer (I), an organic thin layer (II) having a film thickness of from 0.01 to 0.4 um and a refractive index of from 1.58 to 1.85; and a transparent adhesive thin layer (III) having a refractive index of from 1.46 to 1.52, wherein said organic thin layer (II) contains a resin selected from the group consisting of polyimides, cardo type resins, acrylic resins, polysiloxanes, polybenzoxazoles, phenol resins, polyamideimides, polyethersulfones, polyurethanes and polyesters; wherein said organic thin layer (ii) contains metal oxide particles.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said organic thin layer (II) contains a resin selected from the group consisting of polyimides, cardo type resins, polysiloxanes, polybenzoxazoles, phenol resins, polyamideimides, polyethersulfones and polyesters.

3. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said organic thin layer (II) contains a resin containing a carboxyl group and/or a phenolic hydroxyl group.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said organic thin layer (II) is formed using a resin composition containing a precursor selected from the group consisting of polyimide precursors, polyamideimide precursors and polybenzoxazole precursors.

5. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said transparent ground substrate is a tempered glass substrate.

6. A touch panel member using the substrate according to claim 1 .
