An electrophoretic display is mounted on the surface of the housing of a notebook type personal computer. When an event that requires the user to operate a member occurs, the member and operation information corresponding to that event are searched for, and the searched-for operation information is displayed in a region of the electrophoretic display in the vicinity of the searched-for member. For example, when a termination switch is in a corner of the exterior surface of the cover, for a system termination event, information indicating that the termination switch should be operated is displayed in a region of the electrophoretic display in the vicinity of the termination switch.

A pixel cell has a thin film transistor structure formed on a substrate. A signal conductor is patterned on the thin film transistor structure, and a first patterned layer of a transparent conductive material covers the signal conductor. The first patterned layer provides a pattern employed in etching a channel region of the thin film transistor structure. A dielectric layer is formed over the pixel cell and includes a via hole down to the first patterned layer of the transparent conductive material. A second layer of transparent conductive material extends through the via hole to contact the first patterned layer wherein the second layer is self-aligned to the transistor structure.
