ELECTRONIC COMPONENT OR PRECURSOR THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

[Problem]To provide an electronic component, or a precursor thereof, that comprises a curable organopolysiloxane composition or a cured product thereof, the electronic component or precursor thereof enabling a precise application to be applied and a micropattern to be formed by a microdroplet application device such as a jet dispenser in a one-part system.[Solution]An electronic component, or a precursor thereof, that is characterized by comprising a curable organopolysiloxane composition or a cured product thereof, the curable organopolysiloxane composition preferably being curable through a hydrosilylation reaction and being applied to at least one area by a microdroplet application device, the curable organopolysiloxane composition having a viscosity of no more than 2.0 Pa·s at a strain rate of 1,000 (1/s), and a viscosity at a strain rate of 0.1 (1/s) being a value no less than 50.0 times the viscosity at a strain rate of 1,000 (1/s). In particular, the area of application preferably is a substantially circular area that fits within a frame no more than 1000 µm in diameter, a linear area no more than 1000 µm in line width, or a pattern configured from a combination of these areas.
