Abstract
Abstract Electrical connection between electrode arrangements formed on first and second substrates is described. The first substrate is placed over the second substrate with a UV light curable adhesive between them. The UV light curable adhesive carries first and second particles dispersed therein. The first and second substrates are pressed against each other and exposed to UV light in order to harden the adhesive. The first particles are made from conductive particles and preferably resilient and function to form current paths between the electrodes of the first and second substrates. The second particles function to prevent the first particles from being destroyed by excess deformation.
