Patent ID: 8587570

Claim:
An LCD display element, comprising: a first column electrode; a second column electrode; a row electrode, wherein an area of intersection between the row electrode and the first column electrode defines a first pixel; a spacing area disposed between the first column electrode and the second column electrode; and a row lead that drives the row electrode, wherein the row electrode is one of a plurality of row electrodes, and wherein the row lead passes through the spacing area and extends across each of the plurality of row electrodes; wherein the LCD display element further comprising: a first cover plate; a second cover plate, wherein the second cover plate is parallel to the first cover plate and is separated from the first cover plate by a distance; and a liquid crystal disposed between the first cover plate and the second cover plate, wherein the row lead is electrically connected to the row electrode by a contact element, wherein the contact element includes conductive particles that have an uncompressed mean diameter that is between 10% and 15% greater than the distance between the first cover plate and the second cover plate.
