Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the breaking of an electrode terminal due to the bending of plastic substrates by cutting curvedly or obliquely an edge of one of the substrates confronting the other having the electrode terminal thereon. CONSTITUTION:An edge of one plastic substrate 11 confronting the other 10 having an electrode terminal thereon is curvedly cut 11a. An epoxy resin sealant 3 is coated on the substrates 10, 11, and the substrates 10, 11 are superposed on each other and heated at 100-120 deg.C for 2-3hr under 0.5-1kg/cm<2> pressure. Even when the upper and under plastic substrates 10, 11 contact with each other during the heating, local strain applied to the electrode terminal of an electrode pattern 14 is relieved, so the breaking of the terminal is prevented.
