Abstract: A substrate is provided with a transparent electrode in which the pattern is hardly visible even when the transparent electrode layer has been patterned, and a method for manufacturing thereof is provided. On at least one of the surfaces of a transparent film, a first, second, and third dielectric material layer, and a patterned transparent electrode layer are included, in this order, each preferably having a film thickness and refractive index within a specific range. The first and third dielectric material layers are silicon oxide layers containing SiOx and SiOv as main components, respectively. The second dielectric material layer is a metal oxide layer containing a metal oxide. The transparent electrode layer is a conductive metal oxide layer containing an indium-tin composite oxide as a main component. The refractive indexes of the first (n1), second (n2), and third (n3) dielectric material layers satisfy the relationship n3<n1<n2.
