Abstract: An adhesive layer-equipped transparent plate includes a transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface; a first adhesive layer provided on the first surface; and a second adhesive layer provided on the second surface; wherein the transparent plate includes at least one of an exposed portion in a periphery of the first surface, where the first surface is exposed from the first adhesive layer, and an exposed portions in a periphery of the second surface, where the second surface is exposed from the second adhesive layer.

Abstract: A separation apparatus for separating a first plate from a laminate formed by laminating the first plate, an adhesive layer, and a second plate in this order is provided. The separation apparatus includes a base configured to flatly support the first plate from below, a blade configured to be inserted between the first plate and the adhesive layer and to advance in parallel to a support surface of the base, a limiting member configured to support the adhesive layer from below and to limit contact between the adhesive layer and the blade, the limiting member being behind a blade tip, and an interlocking mechanism configured to cause the limiting member to advance in conjunction with the blade.

Abstract: A transparent plate having an adhesive layer includes a transparent plate; a cover material formed on a peripheral portion of a surface of the transparent plate and having a notched portion on an upper side thereof; an adhesive layer formed in a region enclosed by the transparent plate and the cover material and on a partial region of the cover material such that the adhesive layer has a peripheral end face on the cover material, wherein the peripheral end face coincides with the position of the notched portion in a planar direction of the transparent plate; and a peelable protective film formed on the adhesive layer and having a peripheral end face such that the peripheral end face of the protective film is flush with the peripheral end face of the adhesive layer coinciding with the position of the notched portion.

Abstract: A substrate with transparent conductive film which is suitable for laser patterning and can be produced with high productivity, is provided. A substrate with transparent conductive film, which comprises a glass substrate and a transparent conductive film composed mainly of indium oxide, formed thereon, wherein the average domain diameter at the surface of the transparent conductive film is at most 150 nm. Such transparent conductive film is formed by sputtering at a substrate temperature of at most 250° C. during the film deposition.
