Moreover, when the glass transition temperature of the polyester urethane resin B was measured like Example 1, it was -3 degreeC.

  A film-like circuit connecting material was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the polyester urethane resin B was used in place of the polyester urethane resin A.

(Comparative Example 2)
Instead of the polyester urethane resin B, a film-like circuit connecting material was prepared in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the polyester polyol (glass transition temperature: −5 ° C.) used in the synthesis of the polyester urethane resin B was used. Produced.

(Comparative Example 3)

In the same manner as above, a film-like circuit connecting material was produced.

(Production of circuit member connection structure)
A circuit member was prepared in which 500 chrome circuits (line width 50 μm, pitch 100 μm, thickness 0.4 μm) as circuit electrodes were formed on a glass substrate (trade name “# 1737” manufactured by Corning). On this circuit member, the film-like circuit connection material produced in Example 1 was affixed, and this was temporarily bonded by heating and pressing at 70 ° C. and 0.5 MPa for 5 seconds.

  Subsequently, the PET film was peeled off, and 500 copper circuits (line width 50 μm, pitch 100 μm, thickness 18 μm) were placed on the polyimide film (Ube Industries, trade name “Iupilex”, thickness 75 μm) through the adhesive layer. The flexible circuit member (FPC1) having a three-layer structure bonded to each other was placed on a film-like circuit connection material, and heated and pressurized at 160 ° C. and 3 MPa for 10 seconds.

Using the flexible circuit board (FPC2), the circuit member having the glass substrate and the FPC2 were connected over a width of 2 mm in the same manner as described above.

  Using the film-like circuit connection materials produced in Examples 2-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4, FPC1 and FPC2 were each connected to a circuit member having a glass substrate in the same manner as described above.

(Connection resistance)
About the connection structure of the produced circuit member, the resistance value (connection resistance) between the circuit electrodes which oppose was measured using the multimeter. The measurement was performed at the initial stage and after the high-temperature and high-humidity treatment held in a high-temperature and high-humidity tank at 85 ° C. and 85% RH for 500 hours. Table 1 shows the average value (x + 3σ) of 150 resistance values as the connection resistance.

(Adhesive strength)
About the connection structure of the produced circuit member, the adhesive strength when peeling at 90 ° was measured at a peeling speed of 50 mm / min. The measurement was performed at the initial stage and after the high temperature and high humidity treatment similar to the above.

  The connection structure of the circuit members connected using the circuit connection materials of Examples 1 to 3 has a sufficiently low initial connection resistance, and almost no increase in connection resistance after high-temperature and high-humidity treatment, and high durability. Showed sex. In particular, the durability was particularly excellent in Example 1 using a polyester urethane resin having a glass transition temperature of 50 ° C. or higher. In the case of Example 2 using a polyester urethane resin having a glass transition temperature of less than 50 ° C., the connection becomes somewhat loose after the high-temperature and high-humidity treatment, and the increase in connection resistance is relatively larger than that in Example 1. However, it was practically acceptable. Further, in Example 3 in which the polyester urethane resin and the phenoxy resin having a glass transition temperature of 50 ° C. or higher were used in combination, the increase in connection resistance due to the high-temperature and high-humidity treatment was suppressed to substantially the same level as in Example 1.

  In Examples 1 to 3, in both cases of FPC1 and FPC2, 6 N / cm or more was maintained after the initial stage and after the high temperature and high humidity treatment. In the case of this test, it is generally considered practically sufficient if the adhesive strength is 6 N / cm or more. In comparison between Example 2 and Example 3, Example 2 having a higher content of polyester urethane resin was superior in adhesive strength after high-temperature and high-humidity treatment to Example 3.

  In contrast, Comparative Example 4 using a polyurethane resin having no ester bond and having a low glass transition temperature of −30 ° C. greatly increased the connection resistance after the high temperature and high humidity treatment. Moreover, although the comparative example 4 showed the comparatively favorable adhesive strength in the connection structure using FPC1, in the connection structure using FPC2, the adhesive strength decreased significantly after the high temperature and high humidity treatment. Comparative Examples 1 to 3 each had an adhesive strength of 6 N / cm or more, and did not exhibit practically sufficient characteristics at least in terms of adhesive strength.
