Patent ID: 7749684

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a conductive pattern forming body comprising: a property variable pattern forming process of placing a photocatalyst treatment layer side substrate comprising a base member and a photocatalyst treatment layer containing a photocatalyst, and a pattern forming body substrate comprising a property variable layer whose property is changed by an action of a photocatalyst in the photocatalyst treatment layer so that the photocatalyst treatment layer and the property variable layer are placed with a gap of 200 μm or less where the photocatalyst treatment layer and the property variable layer do not contact each other, and then, irradiating with energy from a predetermined direction to form a property variable pattern, whose property is changed, on a surface of the property variable layer; a metal colloid coating process of adhering a metal colloid in a pattern to the surface of the pattern forming body substrate on which the property variable pattern is formed by coating the metal colloid; and a process of forming a conductive pattern by solidifying the metal colloid adhered in a pattern to the property variable pattern.
