Process for producing transparent electroconductive member

Abstract

[Problems] To provide a process for producing a transparent electroconductive member, which can produce a transparent electroconductive member having excellent light transparency and electroconductivity at low cost. [Means for Solving Problems] (a) Pattern printing is carried out on a transparent base material using an ink containing a reducing agent to form a reducing agent-containing pattern layer. Next, (b) a metal ion solution containing metal ions, which can function as an electroless plating catalyst upon reduction, is coated on the reducing agent-containing pattern layer, and the metal ion is reduced by contact between the reducing agent and the metal ion to form an electroless plating catalyst layer. Thereafter, (c) an electroconductive metal layer is formed by plating treatment on the electroless plating catalyst layer to produce a transparent electroconductive member.
