In a transparent conductive film for use in a transparent touch panel in
which a lower electrode and an upper electrode are stacked so as to be
spaced from each other by spacers, the transparent conductive film being
provided on an electrode substrate of at least one of the electrodes and
thereby forming the electrode, the transparent conductive film has, in
its surface shape, an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) within a range of
0.4 nm.ltoreq.Ra.ltoreq.4.0 nm and a root-mean-square roughness (Rms)
within a range of 0.6 nm.ltoreq.Rms.ltoreq.3.0 nm.
