NOVELTY - A transparent conductive base material has a patterned transparent conductive layer (2) formed on a base material (1), and a transparent anisotropic electroconductive overcoat layer (3) formed on the layer (2). The patterned transparent conductive layer is formed by coating, drying and baking a liquid containing electroconductive oxide, transparent electroconductive component and a solvent.    USE - Transparent conductive base material is used for light-emitting diode, electroluminescent lamp, field emission lamp, liquid crystal display device, touch panel, electroluminescent display device, electronic paper, solar cell and plasma display device.    ADVANTAGE - The conductive base material having excellent transparency, strength, stable membrane resistance and electroconductivity is economically manufactured by simple method.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A transparent conductive base material has a patterned transparent conductive layer formed on a base material, and a transparent anisotropic electroconductive overcoat layer formed on the patterned transparent conductive layer. The patterned transparent conductive layer is formed by coating, drying and baking a liquid containing electroconductive oxide, transparent electroconductive component and a solvent. The transparent anisotropic electroconductive overcoat layer is formed by coating a liquid containing binder matrix comprising electroconductive oxide fine particles (4) having average particle diameter of 0.01-0.05 mu m and binder component. The transparent anisotropic electroconductive overcoat layer has thickness of 1-3 times of average particle diameter of electroconductive oxide fine particles. The volume ratio of electroconductive oxide fine particles and binder matrix is 5:95-25:75. The transparent conductive layer has electroconductivity along vertical direction, and does not have electroconductivity along horizontal direction. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacture of transparent conductive base material.
