PURPOSE:To enlarge an area of a conductive particle in contact with connecting terminals and easily provide an anisotropic conductive adhesive at a low cost. CONSTITUTION:In an anisotropic conductive adhesive 1, a thermoplastic insulative resin film 3 covering a conductive particle 2 made of a conductive polymer is contained in an insulative adhesive 4 at equal intervals. When a connecting terminal 12 of a transparent substrate 11 and a connecting terminal 14 of a TAB tape 13 are thermally fitted to each other for connection by the anisotropic conductive adhesive 1, a part of the insulative resin film 4 in the pressurizing direction is fluidly relieved so that the conductive particle 2 is elastically deformed to be thus brought into contact in a suitably compressed state with the pair of connecting terminals 12, 14 facing to each other, thereby resulting in a large contact area. Since the conductive particle 2 is made of a conductive polymer, it is possible to easily manufacture the adhesive at a low cost in comparison with the prior art where an elastic resin particle is covered with a metal plating film. |
