Abstract
A multi-element module is constituted by a substrate having thereon a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of electrical elements each having at least one second electrode and disposed so that its second electrode is aligned with a first electrode in an opposed relationship, and an adhesive member disposed between the substrate and the plurality of electrical elements to ensure electrical connection between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The adhesive member comprises an adhesive layer contacting and bonding the electrical elements to the substrate, and an anisotropic conductive layer comprising a resin and electroconductive particles dispersed in the resin. The anisotropic conductive film is disposed between the adhesive layer and the substrate so as to insulate adjacent electrodes from each other while electrically connects the first and second electrodes, even when the electrical elements having second electrodes different in thickness.
