Patent 7763151 was granted and assigned to Nitto Denko on July, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A process for producing a transparent conductive laminate having a completely crystallized, transparent conductive layer on a substrate comprising an organic polymer molding is provided. The transparent conductive layer is excellent in transparency and wet heat confidence, is not excessively low in specific resistivity, and has no variation on optical properties such as retardation characteristic. The transparent conductive laminate is obtained by sputter-film forming a transparent conductive layer on a substrate comprising an organic polymer molding under conditions of a substrate temperature of 80-150° C. and a degree of vacuum of 8×10−3 Pa or lower to form an amorphous transparent conductive layer comprising an In.Sn composite oxide having an amount of Sn atom of 1-6 % by weight based on the total weight of In atom and Sn atom and having a film thickness of 15-30 nm, a Hall mobility of 15-28 cm2 V·S, and a carrier density of 2×1020/cm3 to 5×1020/cm3, and heat treating the layer at a temperature lower than 120° C., to convert it into a completely crystallized transparent conductive layer having a Hall mobility of 30-45 cm2/V·S and a carrier density of 2×1020/cm3 to 7×1020/cm3.
