Patent ID: 6963386

Claim:
A front-lit display panel comprising: (a) a plurality of pixels units, each pixel unit having: (i) a layered structure including a sequence of a transparent conductor, an active layer containing liquid-crystal-type molecules, and a rear conductive layer, parts of said pixel unit which lie on a side of said rear conductive layer remote from said active layer being designated as the “rear portion” of said pixel unit, (ii) a first electrical connector in electrical contact with said rear conductive layer and extending to the rear portion of said pixel unit, and (iii) a second electrical connector in electrical contact with said transparent conductor and extending to the rear portion of said pixel unit; and (b) a plurality of electronics module for respectively receiving each pixels units, each said module having (i) a first conformal interconnection facility with the at least two contacts adapted for making electrical contact with said first and second electrical connectors of one of said pixel unit, and (ii) a second conformal interconnection facility for interfacing with at least one data communications line and at least one electric power line; and (c) an assembly board for receiving said plurality of second conformal interconnection facilities, each receiving position having at least two contacts respectively adapted for making electrical contact with said data communications line and with electric power line of one of said electronics modules.
