Abstract: A laminate is described, including a substrate, an undercoat layer on the substrate, and an inorganic film on the undercoat layer. The material of the inorganic film is at least one material of a conductive metal oxide and a metal nitride. In an image obtained by Fourier transforming an image obtained by using an atomic force microscope to take a picture of a surface of the inorganic film, the azimuth angle of the image obtained from the Fourier transformation from the center of the image toward the direction of 12 o'clock is set to 0°. In approximate curves of 36 brightness value plots obtained by radially plotting the brightness values every 10° from 0°, a maximum value is observed in 18 or more of the approximate curves.
