Abstract

A bonding structure comprising a contact pad, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) and a contact structure is provided. The contact pad includes at least one recess, wherein a thickness of the contact pad is T, and a width of the at least one recess is B, The ACF is disposed on the contact pad and includes a plurality of conductive particles; each of the conductive particles is disposed in the at least one recess. A diameter of the conductive particles is A, and A is larger than B and T and satisfies B≦2(AT−T 2 ) 1/2 . The contact structure is disposed on the ACF and electrically connected to the contact pad via the conductive particles. The disclosure also provides a flexible device including a substrate, a patterned insulating layer, at least one contact pad, ACF, and a contact structure.
