| 1. An anisotropic conductive film comprising:
a support member, on which at least one slit is formed, the support member being arranged in a cut out of a sheet-shaped base
material made of a flexible insulating film, the support member being arranged with contact portions respectively placed on
the upper and lower surfaces thereof; and
a conductive film that makes only a pair of the contact portions, placed on the upper and lower surfaces, mutually conductive
to each other independently, so that a conductive unit is formed,
wherein a number of the conductive units are placed side by side,
wherein the support member is elastically deformable or at least in part deflectable by compression, and
wherein upon deflection or deformation the support member does not fill the cut out of the slit.
