An electroconductive substrate including a base material and a metal wiring made of at least either of silver and copper, and the electroconductive substrate has an antireflection region formed on part or all of the metal wiring surface. This antireflection region is composed of roughened particles made of at least either of silver and copper and blackened particles finer than the roughened particles and embedded between the roughened particles. The blackened particles are made of silver or a silver compound, copper or a copper compound, or carbon or an organic substance having a carbon content of 25 wt % or more. The antireflection region has a surface with a center line average roughness of 15 nm or more and 70 nm or less. The electroconductive substrate is formed from metal wiring from a metal ink that forms roughened particles, followed by application of a blackening ink containing blackened particles.

The present invention relates to a method for forming a metal pattern on a pattern formation section set on a base material. In the present invention, a substrate provided with a fluorine-containing resin layer on a surface of the base material including the pattern formation section is used. The present inventive method for forming a metal pattern includes steps of: forming a functional group on the pattern formation section; and applying a metal ink including an amine compound and a fatty acid as protective agents to the base material surface to fix the metal particles on the pattern formation section. In the present invention, a fluorine-containing resin having a surface free energy measured by the Owens-Wendt method of 13 mN/m or more and 20 mN/m or less is applied as the fluorine-containing resin layer. Further, a metal ink including ethyl cellulose as an additive is applied as the metal ink.
