An acceleration sensor is provided in which a sensitive color plate is provided between two polarizing plates that are in a crossed Nicol disposition, and a silver nanowire dispersion is disposed between the sensitive color plate and one of the polarizing plates.

Acceleration sensor, acceleration evaluation method using same, and load provided with acceleration sensor

Provided are a conductive pattern manufacturing method and a conductive pattern formed substrate, capable of easily achieving a narrow pitch. A metal nanowire layeris formed on the entirety of a part of at least one of the main faces of a substrate, pulsed light is irradiated thereto through a maskprovided with a light transmission portionformed in a predetermined pattern, and the metal nanowires in the metal nanowire layerat the region having the above predetermined pattern were sintered, to thereby obtain conductivity at the predetermined patterned region. Accordingly, a substrate provided with a conductive pattern having any selected pattern can be produced by simple steps.

Method for manufacturing conductive pattern and conductive pattern formed substrate

Provided are a transparent electrode and a production method thereof, the transparent electrode using metal nanowires and/or metal nanotubes as conductive components, and showing favorable surface flatness, conductivity, and light transmittance. A transparent conductive ink is prepared by dispersing metal nanowires and/or metal nanotubes in a solution formed by dissolving a thermoset or thermoplastic binder resin having no fluidity within the range of 5 to 40&#xb0; C. to a solvent, the content of the binder resin being 100 to 2500 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the metal nanowires and/or metal nanotubes. An electrode pattern having a desired shape is printed on a substrate with the transparent conductive ink, and pulsed light is irradiated to the printed electrode pattern, to thereby obtain a transparent electrode having a surface resistance of 0.1 to 500&#x3a9;/&#x25a1; and a surface arithmetic average roughness Ra satisfying Ra&#x2266;5 nm.
