A method for producing a transparent electrode includes a forming step, an applying step and an irradiating step. The forming step is a step of forming a conductive metal layer on a transparent resin substrate. The applying step is a step of applying a composition containing a conductive polymer and a nonconductive polymer over the transparent resin substrate and the conductive metal layer so as to form a conductive polymer layer. The irradiating step is a step of irradiating the conductive polymer layer with an infrared ray having a ratio of spectral radiance at a wavelength of 5.8 μm to spectral radiance at a wavelength of 3.0 μm of 5% or less.
