Flexible transparent conductive film, flexible functional device, and methods for producing these

Abstract

In a flexible transparent conductive film having a base film and a transparent conductive layer formed by coating the base film surface with a transparent conductive layer forming coating fluid, the base film is constituted of a plastic film of 3 to 50 μm in thickness having been provided with gas barrier function, the flexible transparent conductive film has a backing film laminated to one side of the base film in such a way as to be peelable at the interface thereof with the base film, the transparent conductive layer provided on the base film surface on its side opposite to the backing film is chiefly composed of conductive fine oxide particles and a binder matrix, and the transparent conductive layer has been subjected to compressing together with the base film and the backing film. Also disclosed is a flexible functional device which has the above flexible transparent conductive film and formed thereon any functional device selected from a liquid-crystal display device, an organic electroluminescent device, a dispersion-type inorganic electroluminescent device and an electronic paper device.
