The anisotropic conductive adhesives containing the conductive, multilayer-structured resin particles in which at least one inner layer is more flexible than the outermost layer and is chemically bound to at least one of the two adjacent layers and the surface of the outermost layer is covered with a metal make connections at lowered pressure enough to suppress development of cracking of the ITO electrode and also can provide enhanced stability, especially stability of connection over a prolonged period of time.
