Abstract: A mounting structure has a substrate with a plurality of terminals having helically curved portions superimposed and electrically connected to a plurality of identical helically curved terminals on a second substrate. This increases the precision of positioning the terminals on one substrate on to those on a second substrate by relatively rotating the first and second substrates which have reference points coincident with each other.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a mounting structure, including: at least one of each of the first electrode terminals and each of the second electrode terminals is formed in the curve form prolonged in the direction along the helical curve. According to this configuration, positional deviations between the first and second electrode terminals forming the pairs can be absorbed even when the first and second substrates expand or contract. Furthermore, the first and second reference points set in relation to the first and second electrode terminals on the first and second substrates can be set to a reference point of the helical curve and positioning between the first and second electrode terminals can be facilitated by only relatively rotating the first and second substrates whose first and second reference points directly coincide.

Abstract: A device is provided to heat the whole heated surface of a carried member carried intermittently with a temperature change over time maintained constant. The device controls the driving of a belt-conveyer so that a heater moves in a carrying direction at a carry time movement velocity that is slower than the carry velocity of a TAB tape if the TAB tape is in a carried state. On the other hand, the heater moves in an opposite carrying direction at a carry standby time movement velocity derived from the difference between the carry velocity and the carry time movement velocity if the TAB tape is in a carry standby state.
