As a method for obtaining the transparent antenna of the first aspect, a second aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a forming step of forming a pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member in a state where a pattern-shaped resist layer is disposed on a transparent resin layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of the resin composition and the cured product thereof of the present embodiment. In the forming step, the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member may be formed by plating or sputtering using the resist layer as a mask.

A third aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a removing step of removing the base material film of the laminate of the second aspect. The conductive member of the laminate of the second aspect may have a pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) portion. In a case where the transparent resin layer of the laminate at the time of the removing step contains a cured product (in a case where the transparent resin layer is a transparent base material), a laminate of the transparent base material and the conductive member (the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member, or the like) can be obtained as the transparent antenna by the removing step. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the third aspect may include a curing step of curing the transparent resin layer (the resin composition of the transparent resin layer) to obtain a cured product (transparent base material), before the removing step, after the removing step, or before and after the removing step.
A fourth aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a laminating step of laminating the transparent resin layer of the laminate of the present embodiment on the support member. As the support member, the support member described above regarding the transparent antenna can be used. In the laminating step, the transparent resin layer may be laminated on the support member in a state where the base material film of the laminate of the present embodiment is removed, and the transparent resin layer may be laminated on the support member in a state where the protective film of the laminate of the first aspect is removed. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include a removing step A of removing the base material film of the laminate of the present embodiment, and may include a removing step B of removing the protective film of the laminate of the first aspect.
In the case of using the laminate of the second aspect, in the laminating step, the transparent resin layer and the conductive member may be laminated on the support member in a state where the transparent resin layer is positioned closer to the side of the support member than the conductive member, and the transparent resin layer and the conductive member may be laminated on the support member in a state where the transparent resin layer is in contact with the support member.

Incidentally, in a laminate having a support member and a conductive member disposed on the support member, in the case of laminating the support member and the conductive member with excellent adhesiveness, there is a case where the support member is subjected to a surface treatment (a plasma treatment, a corona treatment, or the like), and the manufacturing procedure of the laminate may be complicated. For example, in the case of using a polyolefin as the constituent material of the support member, since adhesiveness between the polyolefin and the conductive member (for example, a metal material such as copper) is low, there is a case where the surface treatment is required to be performed in order to obtain sufficient adhesiveness. On the other hand, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to obtain the laminate of the support member and the conductive member (the laminate having the support member, the transparent base material, and the conductive member) as the transparent antenna while obtaining sufficient adhesiveness between the support member and the conductive member with the transparent base material interposed therebetween, and for example, it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna while obtaining sufficient adhesiveness between the support member containing a polyolefin and the conductive member containing copper with the transparent base material interposed therebetween. Furthermore, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to collectively supply the transparent resin layer and the conductive member onto the support member by laminating the laminate of the second aspect on the support member, and it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna by a simple method without requiring to form each member on the support member each time the transparent antenna is manufactured. In a case where the laminate of the second aspect has the aforementioned layer L, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to collectively supply the transparent resin layer, the conductive member and the layer L onto the support member by laminating the laminate of the second aspect on the support member, and it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna by a simple method without requiring to form each member on the support member each time the transparent antenna is manufactured. Further, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna having excellent antenna characteristics by using a material having excellent dielectric properties (a low dielectric constant, a dielectric dissipation factor, or the like) as the constituent material of the transparent resin layer or the transparent base material.
