There is provided an electrode structure in which cracks are hardly generated in the bending processed portions, in particular, in the electrode layer and the insulating layer. The electrode structure comprises a support (3) having bending processed portions (4), an electrode layer (1) formed on the support so as to pass over the bending processed portions (4), and an insulating layer (2) formed on the electrode layer (1) passing over the bending processed portions (4). The glass transition temperature of the dielectric material forming the insulating layer (2) is made to be 25° C. or below. The electrode layer (1) includes at least one material belonging to the group consisting of silver, silver chloride and carbon, and in particular, a terminal portion (5) of the electrode layer (1) passing over the bending processed portions (4) is formed of a paste containing carbon as the main component.
