Conductive polymer, conductive layer, electronic device, and electronic equipment

A conductive polymer having a high carrier transport ability, a conductive layer formed using the conductive polymer, an electronic device provided with the conductive layer and having a high reliability, and electronic equipment provided with such an electronic device are provided. The conductive polymer includes a linear main chain, a plurality of carrier transport structures which contribute to carrier transport and each of which is represented by the following general formula (1), and a linking structure which branches off from the main chain to link each of the carrier transport structures to the main chain: General Formula (1)where each R independently represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group, and the R s are the same or different.
