Abstract

A mounting structure includes a first member that includes a first electrode, a second member that includes a second electrode facing the first electrode, and an anisotropic conductive material that includes conductive particles electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode by being deformed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode is positioned in a bottom portion of an opening portion of an insulating layer that is formed in the first member. At least a part of the periphery of the opening portion of the insulating layer overlaps with the second electrode in a plan view. Also, a particle diameter of the conductive particles is equal to or more than twice a depth value of the opening portion.
