1. A transparent conductive film comprising laminated transparent conductive thin films of at least two layers, wherein
a transparent conductive thin film of an uppermost layer is an amorphous oxide thin film composed of gallium, indium, and oxygen, with a gallium content ranging from 49.1 atom % to 65 atom % with respect to all metallic atoms,
wherein a transparent conductive thin film other than the transparent conductive thin film of the uppermost layer includes at least one of an amorphous oxide thin film composed of: indium, tin, and oxygen; an amorphous oxide thin film composed of indium, zinc and oxygen; an amorphous oxide thin film composed of indium, tungsten, and oxygen; and an amorphous oxide thin film composed of indium, tungsten, zinc and oxygen, and
wherein a work function is 5.1 eV or more, and a surface resistance is 100 Ω/□ or less.
