Patent ID: 7611746

Claim:
A method for producing an electromagnetic-wave-shielding light-transmitting window member comprising a transparent substrate and a conductive pattern formed by electroless plating on a surface of the transparent substrate, the method comprising the steps of: applying, by printing, an ultraviolet-curable resin paste containing an electroless plating catalyst to the surface of the transparent substrate; curing the resulting printed pattern by irradiation of ultraviolet light to form a resin pattern having the same pattern as the conductive pattern; and subsequently depositing a conductive material on the resin pattern by electroless plating treatment to form the conductive pattern, wherein the ultraviolet-curable resin paste contains a volatile substance that sublimates by irradiation of ultraviolet light; after the resin pattern is formed, the volatile component sublimates from the resin pattern to expose particles of the electroless plating catalyst on the surface of the resin pattern; and then the electroless plating treatment is carried out, wherein the UV light sublimable volatile substance is at least one material selected from the group consisting of sublimable resists and phthalocyanine-based sublimable materials.
