NOVELTY - The electrode (22) has a fine wire structure (14) and a translucent conductive film (16). The volume resistances of the fine wire structure and the conductive film are 10-4ohmasteriskcm or less and 0.05ohmasteriskcm or more respectively. The surface resistances of the thin wire structure and the conductive film are 100ohm/square or less and 100ohm/square or more respectively. The ratio between the surface resistances of the electrode before and after bending test is less than 18.    USE - Self-illuminating display device e.g. organic/inorganic electroluminescent (EL) display, electronic paper, and solar cells (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The self-illuminating type display can be operated at low voltage and the power consumption is reduced while avoiding the degradation of the brightness characteristics. The display has flexible electroconductive film that can be manufactured easily at low cost.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The display device (20) has the electrode formed by processing the photosensitive silver halide material on a support (12). The electrode has the conductive film containing electroconductive material. The electroconductive material contains transparent electroconductive organic polymer or electroconductive microparticles. The electroconductive microparticles can be electroconductive metal oxide, electroconductive metal microparticles or carbon nanotubes. The light transmittance of the electrode with respect to light having wavelength of about 550nm is 70% or more. The thickness of the thin wire structure of the electrode is 10mu m or less. The electrode is subjected to the bending test during manufacture. During bending test, the electrode is mounted on a roller having diameter of about 4mm so that the electrode rotates along with the roller. The edge of the electrode is pulled by applying predetermined tension and the electrode is bent while pulling other edge of the electrode on application of the predetermined tension. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacturing method of transparent electroconductive film.
