Abstract: An optically transparent conductive material includes: an optically transparent support; and an optically transparent conductive layer on the optically transparent support, the optically transparent conductive layer being electrically connected to a terminal area and including sensor parts extending in one direction, wherein the sensor parts are each made of an irregular net-like pattern of thin metal wires, each sensor part has varying widths and includes corridor portions where the width of the sensor part is relatively narrow and other portions where the width of the sensor part is relatively wide, and the following relation is satisfied: 1.05X?A?1.20X, where A is an average number of intersections in the net-like pattern of thin metal wires per unit area in the corridor portions, and X is an average number of intersections in the net-like pattern of thin metal wires per unit area in other portions.

Abstract: Provided is an optically transparent conductive material which does not cause moire even when placed over a liquid crystal display, and has a favorable optical transparency and a high reliability. The optically transparent conductive material has, on an optically transparent support, an optically transparent conductive layer having a sensor part electrically connected to a terminal part and a dummy part not electrically connected to the terminal part, and the sensor part and/or the dummy part is formed of a metal pattern having a mesh shape obtained by enlarging or reducing a Voronoi diagram in an arbitrary direction.

Abstract: An optically transparent conductive material includes two layers including an upper conductive layer and a lower conductive layer in a stack with an insulation layer therebetween. The upper conductive layer and the lower conductive layer each include at least sensor parts to be electrically connected to terminal areas and dummy parts not to be electrically connected to the terminal areas, the sensor parts and the dummy parts each being formed in a net-like irregular pattern of metal thin wires. The sensor parts of the lower conductive layer are formed with multiple linear electrodes that extend in a first direction and that are repetitively aligned with a period L in a second direction, and the sensor parts of the upper conductive layer are formed with multiple linear electrodes that extend in a third direction and that are repetitively aligned with a period M in a fourth direction.

Abstract: Provided is an optically transparent conductive material which does not cause moire or grain even when placed over a liquid crystal display, that is, has a favorably low visibility (moire and grain are less recognizable), and has a high reliability. The optically transparent conductive material has, on an optically transparent base material, an optically transparent conductive layer having sensor parts and dummy parts, the sensor parts and/or the dummy parts being formed of a metal mesh pattern consisting of Voronoi edges formed based on a plurality of generators arranged in a plane tiled using polygons longer in the first direction than in the second direction, the mesh pattern being characterized in that each polygon has only one generator arranged in the polygon and that the generator is at an arbitrary position within a reduced polygon formed by connecting points at 90% or less of the direct distance from the center of gravity of the polygon to each vertex of the polygon.

Abstract: A pattern formation method produces a random metal pattern that does not cause moire even when placed over a liquid crystal display and achieves improved detection sensitivity due to compressed variation in electrical properties among sensors. The method forms a patterned optically transparent and electrically conductive assembly having an optically transparent and electrically conductive layer on an optically transparent support. The conductive layer has sensor parts electrically connected to terminal parts and dummy parts not electrically connected to terminal parts, with the sensor and dummy parts having a metal mesh pattern.
