Abstract: There is provided a transparent laminate which comprises a transparent substrate, and four to five units each of a high refractive index transparent film and a silver type transparent electrical conductor film. The units are laminated successively on a surface of the transparent substrate, and one high refractive index transparent film is further disposed as an outermost layer. The high refractive index transparent film is an optically transparent film having a refractive index of from 1.5 to 2.7. The silver type transparent electrical conductor film has a thickness in a range of from 5 to 20 nm. A thickness of the silver type transparent electrical conductor film disposed in a first layer with reference to the transparent substrate is substantially equal to a thickness of the silver type transparent electrical conductor film in an outermost layer with reference to the transparent substrate. A thickness of the silver type transparent electrical conductor film in each of other layers is 3/2(1±0.

Abstract: A transparent laminate is constituted as follows. A low refractive index transparent film is formed on a surface of the transparent substrate. n units (3≦n≦5) of high refractive index transparent films and silver type transparent electrical are laminated successively on a surface of the low refractive index transparent film. Another high refractive index transparent film is formed on a surface of the n units, and another low refractive index transparent film is formed on a surface of the other high refractive index transparent film. Each of the low refractive index transparent films is an optically transparent film having a refractive index nL in a range of from 1.3 to 1.6 and each of the high refractive index transparent films is an optically transparent film having a refractive index nH in a range of from 1.9 to 2.5.
