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.
