The transparent conductor includes a transparent substrate, a first metal oxide layer, a metal layer, and a second metal oxide layer laminated. At least one of the first and the second metal oxide layers contains four components of Al2O3, ZnO, SnO2, and Ga2O3. X, Y, and Z are within a region surrounded by line segments between point a, point b, point c, point d, point e, and point f, in terms of (X, Y, Z) coordinates shown in a ternary diagram in FIG. 2, or on the line segments where X is a total molar ratio of the Al2O3 and the ZnO, Y is a molar ratio of the SnO2, and Z is a molar ratio of the Ga2O3, relative to the total amount of the four components. A molar ratio of the Al2O3 relative to the total amount of the four components is 1.5 to 3.5% by mole.
