Abstract

Abstract A transparent conductive film comprising zinc oxide as the main component, which contains gallium in an amount of from 0.5 to 12 atomic % based on the total amount of gallium and zinc, and which has a diffraction peak of the (002) face in its X-ray diffraction pattern, wherein the half value width of the diffraction peak of the (002) face is at most 0.6 degree.
