Provided is an optically transparent electrode of which the visibility of the electrode pattern is low. The optically transparent electrode is produced by joining two optically transparent conductive materials each having, on one side of the optically transparent base material, a large lattice 11 formed of a grid-like conductive part and a connector 12 which has at least one connector lattice 16 and which electrically connects adjacent large lattices 11, and is characterized by that the two optically transparent conductive materials are overlapped so that the centers of the connectors 12 thereof approximately coincide, and by that at least one of the two optically transparent conductive materials has a broken lattice 31 where a part of a thin line is broken and electrical conductivity is lost at a position corresponding to the overlapped connectors 12 and/or to a portion surrounded by the large lattice 11 and the connector 12.
