Abstract

An electronic device according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first substrate, a conductive layer formed on the first substrate, a first pad electrode that is electrically connected to and extends from the conductive layer, a second substrate electrically connected to the first pad electrode, and an adhesive member disposed between the first pad electrode and the second substrate. The adhesive member includes a conductive fiber sheet. The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure uses an adhesive member which includes a plurality of conductive fiber sheets and an adhesive layer having an adhesive and conductive particles. Therefore, it is possible to easily attach electronic parts at a low temperature and a low pressure and minimize damages of the pad electrode and the substrate of the electronic parts which may be caused during the adhering process.
