７８程度の間隔でかつ２０μｍ程度の高さに設ける。In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a lower insulating substrate made of a glass plate or the like having a thickness of approximately the same as 1, and electrodes 2 are formed on the surface thereof. The electrode 2 is formed by printing silver paste or carbon paste, or by sputtering ITO or the like. Reference numeral 3 denotes an upper insulating substrate made of a polymer film such as polyethylene terephthalate and having a thickness of about 100 μm, on which an electrode 4 made of ITO or the like is formed. Reference numeral 5 denotes an auxiliary insulating substrate made of a polymer film such as polyethylene 2.6-naphthalate having a height of about 185 μm, and electrodes 6 and 7 made of ITo or the like are formed on both sides. Then, an auxiliary insulating substrate 5 is attached to the lower insulating substrate 1, and a spacer 8 is placed at the end of the insulating substrate 1.
In the center, a plurality of spacers 9 are provided at predetermined intervals.
It is laminated with adhesive through it. The spacers 9 are made of, for example, acrylic UV-cured vIJ resin and are provided at a height of about 40 μm at intervals of about 4 spaces. In addition, the upper insulating substrate 3 is placed on the opposite side of the auxiliary insulating substrate 5, the spacer 10 is placed at the end, and the spacer 1 is placed in the center.
1 and laminated with adhesive. The spacers 11 are made of, for example, a resin made of the same material as the spacers 9 and are provided at intervals of about 78 and at a height of about 20 μm.
