Abstract

According to one embodiment, a light-transmitting metal electrode includes a metal layer. The metal layer is provided on a major surface of a member and includes a metal nanowire and a plurality of openings formed with the metal nanowire. The thin layer includes a plurality of first straight line parts along a first direction and a plurality of second straight line parts along a direction different from the first direction. A maximum length of the first line parts along the first direction and a maximum length of the second line parts along the direction different from the first direction are not more than a wave length of visible light. A ratio of an area of the metal layer viewed in a normal direction of the surface to an area of the metal layer viewed in the normal direction is more than 20% and not more than 80%.
