A transparent electrode provided with a nitrogen-containing layer and an electrode layer provided adjacent to the nitrogen-containing layer. The nitrogen-containing layer is configured using a compound that contains nitrogen atoms and in which the effective unshared electron pair content ratio [n/M] is such that 2.0 × 10-3 ≤ [n/M], where n represents the number of unshared electron pairs in the nitrogen atom that do not contribute towards aromaticity and are not coordinated to a metal, and M represents the molecular weight. The electrode layer has silver as a principal component, and contains, as an additive element, at least one element selected from aluminum, gold, indium, copper, palladium, and platinum. |
