摘要

Disclosed is a visible light transmissive particle dispersed conductor using conductive particles containing a tungsten oxide or/and a composite tungsten oxide. Also disclosed are a visible light transmissive conductive article made of such a visible light transmissive particle dispersed conductor, conductive particles used for such a visible light transmissive particle dispersed conductor and visible light transmissive conductive article, and a method for producing such conductive particles. For providing a visible light transmissive particle dispersed conductor having excellent visible light transmittance and excellent conductivity at low cost, there are used conductive particles containing a tungsten oxide represented by the general formula: WyOz (wherein 2.2 = z/y = 2.999) or/and a composite tungsten oxide represented by the general formula: MxWyOx (wherein 0.001 = x/y = 1.1 and 2.2 = z/y = 3.0) and having a particle diameter of not less than 1 nm, visible light transmissivity, and a powder resistivity measured at a pressure of 9.8 MPa of not more than 1.0 O·cm.
