Abstract

Abstract A liquid crystal apparatus in which an anisotropic conductive layer (122) made of organic resin (120) containing several electrical conductive particles (121) having a substantially identical particle sizes is disposed between lead electrodes of a liquid crystal device (112) and the lead electrodes of a drive circuit board (114-117), thermocompression bonding being applied to make a simple substance of the electrical conductive particles (121) in direct contact with the both lead electrodes to allow both lead electrodes to be electrically connected with each other. Further, at least one of the lead electrodes of a common electrode (106) in the liquid crystal device (112) and the lead electrodes of the circuit board (114-117) corresponding to the lead electrode of the common electrode (106) are spaced, and the pitches and widths of the lead electrodes belonging to at least one of the liquid crystal device (112) and the circuit board (114-117) are in the range of +/- 30% around their respective averaged values.
