TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A transparent electrode is configured which is provided with: a nitrogen-containing layer; a conductive layer which is provided abutting the nitrogen-containing layer, and which has silver as a main component thereof; a high refractive index layer having a refractive index higher than that of the nitrogen-containing layer; and a low refractive index layer having a refractive index lower than that of the high refractive index layer. In the nitrogen-containing layer, a compound is used which includes nitrogen atoms, and which has, in cases when n represents the number of unshared electron pairs which are not involved in aromaticity and which are not coordinated to metal, from among the unshared electron pairs of the nitrogen atoms, and M represents molecular weight, an effective unshared-electron-pair content [n/M] that satisfies 2.0×10−3≦[n/M].

1. 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.
