Patent ID: 7972538

Claim:
A conductive pattern formation ink for forming a conductive pattern on a base member by patterning, wherein the conductive pattern formation ink is an ink which is used for forming the conductive pattern using a liquid droplet ejecting method, the conductive pattern formation ink comprised of a dispersion solution, wherein the dispersion solution comprises a solvent which is an aqueous solution containing water as a major component thereof, metal particles dispersed in the solvent, and a polyglycerin compound consisting of polyglycerin, the polyglycerin compound preventing generation of cracks in the conductive pattern during desolvation of the solvent, and wherein a content of the polyglycerin compound in the dispersion solution is in the range of 10 to 20 wt %, and a content of the metal particles in the dispersion solution is in the range of 10 to 45 wt %.
