摘要:
A quickly testable subassembly with redundant isolation devices usable in a liquid crystal display has a pair of coplanar spaced apart alectrode segments connected to one or more-isolation devices. Address lines are connected to the isolation devices or the electrodes. The isolation devices and electrical connections to the electrode segments can be quickly tested prior to assembly of a complete display. Redundant isolation devices are formed on the subassembly and inoperative isolation devices can be replaced by associated redundant isolation devices. A method of quickly testing the subassembly and of replacing inoperative isolation devices, and several alternate quickly restable subassembly geometries are also disclosed. A self-selecting redundant geometry and method are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method of making a parallel programmed electronic matrix array includes forming at least one layer of a phase changeable material on a conductive substrate, the material preferably formed of amorphous material and having substantially nonconductive and comparatively high conductive states, and irradiating selected areas of the layer to convert them to the other state. Thereafter, in a preprogrammed embodiment, first and second sets of electrically conductive address lines are formed on respective opposite sides of the layer such that they cross each other at an angle to form a plurality of crossover points. In a field programmable array, the selected areas are irradiated through one set of lines. In accordance with another embodiment, the selected areas are irradiated through a mask. One set of lines is preferably formed by removing portions of the conductive substrate. The other can be formed by detecting the locations of the layer portions of one of the states and aligning the lines on the layer according to such detection. A diode structure can be formed with or in place of the phase changeable material.

摘要:
The invention provides an electronic matrix array deposited atop a substrate, and comprising a plurality of first spaced apart address lines deposited on a non-conductive surface of the substrate and a plurality of second spaced apart address lines. The second address lines cross at an angle and are spaced from the first address lines to form a plurality of cross over points therewith. The array further includes selection means between each of the cross over points for establishing selectable current paths through respective pairs of the first and second address lines. Each selection means includes a body of semi-conductor material between the first and second address lines at the cross over points and has an effective current conducting cross-sectional area no larger than that formed by the overlapping juxtaposed common surface area of the address lines.
