The transparent conductor of the present invention comprises a conductive
layer containing a conductive particle, a binder, a polymerization
initiator, and a radical scavenger. In the transparent conductor of the
present invention, the conductive layer contains the radical scavenger in
addition to the conductive particle. Therefore, even when the conductive
particle is pumped upon irradiation with UV rays, so that a radical
occurs in the conductive layer, the radical scavenger contained in the
conductive layer captures the radical. This restrains the radical from
acting on the remaining polymerization initiator and thereby causing a
side reaction. As a result, adjacent conductive particles are restrained
from fluctuating the distance therebetween.
