Abstract: This invention provides a mounting method for reliably connecting mounting components electrically. Specifically, an anisotropically conductive adhesive can be composed of crushable microcapsules and a second liquid in which the microcapsules are dispersed. Each microcapsule encloses a first liquid and a conductive particle. The first liquid can react with the second liquid at normal temperatures to cure the second liquid.
