Abstract
Abstract A connection electrodes (12) producing method has a step of forming resin layer (13) which can be softened after hardened, on a circuit substrate (11) on which an electrode pattern is formed. Then, only the resin layer material on the electrode pattern is cured and left. Thereafter, conductive particles (14) are adhered to only the resin layer on the electrode pattern by softening the resin layer and by scattering the conductive particles on the circuit substrate with the softened resin layer.
