Abstract

PURPOSE:To complete protection from external air by forming the protection film of thermoplastic resin on a terminal for external connection made of a transparent conductor and bonding a connecting material which has a wiring pattern to a plastic insulating film by thermocompression across an anisotropic conductive adhesive. CONSTITUTION:The connecting material 7 is bonded onto the transparent conductor 6 by thermocompression across anisotropic conductive adhesive 9. The anisotropic conductive adhesive 9 is formed by dispersing conductive powder into adhesive resin and the conductive powder is sandwiched between electrodes to be connected by the thermocompression to provide conduction. The protection film 8 after the connecting material is bonded by thermocompression is removed with the connecting material 7 and anisotropic conductive adhesive 9 and never impedes the electric connection between the transparent film 6 and connecting material 7. Further, the protection film 8 is left where the connecting material 7 is not bonded on the transparent conductive film 6 and shields the transparent conductive film 6 from external air to obtain moisture preventing effect. Consequently, the liquid-crystal display device having the high reliability which has superior moisture resistance and dust resistance is obtained.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above connection structure, the connection material is adhered or pressure-bonded to the transparent conductive film 6 protruding from the glass plate 1 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, some portions are not completely covered by the transparent conductive film 6 or the connecting material 7 and are partially exposed. ITO, which is commonly used for transparent conductive films, is an oxide, so it is stable in dry air, but it easily decomposes in the presence of moisture, and when voltage is applied, it may cause electrolytic corrosion or excessive current due to short circuit between adjacent parts. Pattern breakage occurs.
