Abstract
There are provided a conductive nanowire network, a conductive board and transparent electrode utilizing it, and a method for producing the same. The conductive nanowire network of the invention has essentially unbroken, continuous conductive nanowires randomly formed into a network. In the method for producing a conductive nanowire network according to the invention, nanofibers are applied in a random network-like fashion onto a substrate covered with a conductive layer, the conductive layer regions that are not covered with the nanofibers are removed, and then the nanofibers are removed. The network structure (wire diameter and network density) are also controlled to obtain a transparent electrode exhibiting both transparency and conductivity.
