  • Publication number: 20170096538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic device having an electronic device body 1 the surface of which is covered by a protective sheet. The protective sheet includes a multilayer structure including a base (X) and a layer (Y) stacked on the base (X). The layer (Y) includes a metal oxide (A), a phosphorus compound (B), and cations (Z) with an ionic charge (FZ) of 1 or more and 3 or less. The phosphorus compound (B) includes a compound containing a moiety capable of reacting with the metal oxide (A). In the layer (Y), the number of moles (NM) of metal atoms (M) constituting the metal oxide (A) and the number of moles (NP) of phosphorus atoms derived from the phosphorus compound (B) satisfy a relationship of 0.8?NM/NP?4.5, and NM, the number of moles (NZ) of the cations (Z), and FZ satisfy a relationship of 0.001?FZ×NZ/NM?0.60.
