Transparent electrode, and electronic device

A transparent electrode, comprising

• a nitrogen-containing layer constituted using a compound which includes nitrogen atoms, and has an effective unshared electron pair content [n/M] of 2.0×10−3≦[n/M], when n is the number of unshared electron pairs which are not involved in aromaticity and which are not coordinated to a metal in the unshared electron pairs of the nitrogen atoms, and M is a molecular weight,
• a conductive layer provided adjacent to the nitrogen-containing layer and having silver as a main component,
• a high refractive index layer provided to sandwich the nitrogen-containing layer between the conductive layer and the high refractive index layer and having a higher refractive index than that of the nitrogen-containing layer, and
• a low refractive index layer provided in contact with the high refractive index layer and having a lower refractive index than that of the high refractive index layer.
