The present invention addresses the problem of providing a
coating composition and an electro-conductive film, capable of improving
touch panel performance, such as
operational stability over time andtouch detection sensitivity of a
liquid crystal display panel having a reduced thickness. This problem is solved by a
coating composition comprising chain-like electro-conductive
inorganic particles,a binder, a high-boiling-point
solvent, and a low-boiling-point
solvent, wherein: the contained amount of the chain-like electro-conductive
inorganic particles with respect to the total amount of thechain-like electro-conductive
inorganic particles and the binder is 30-90
mass%; the binder is an alkoxyl
silane having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000-20,000; and said
coating compositionis intended to be used in a
liquid crystal display panel that has a TFT array substrate, touch detection electrodes, a
liquid crystal layer, and a color filter substrate in order to form an electro-conductive film on a base material surface of said color filter substrate on the opposite side of the liquid
crystal layer.
