Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A panel for a device for displaying an image in an image plane and which includes matrix addressing circuit elements comprises a plurality of plates laminated together at surfaces thereof, said plates having at least a portion of said circuit elements at said laminated surfaces, said laminated surfaces being perpendicular to said image plane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A panel for a device for displaying an image in an image plane and which includes matrix addressing circuit elements comprises a plurality of plates laminated together at surfaces thereof, said plates having at least a portion of said circuit elements at said laminated surfaces, said laminated surfaces being perpendicular to said image plane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A panel for a device having matrix addressing circuit elements comprising a. a plurality of laminated plates, the edge surfaces of said laminated plates forming a major surface of said panel, b. circuit elements at laminated surfaces of said plates, c. means for making electrical contact to said circuit elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A panel for a device having matrix addressing circuit elements comprising a. a plurality of laminated plates, the edge surfaces of said laminated plates forming a major surface of said panel, b. circuit elements at laminated surfaces of said plates, c. means for making electrical contact to said circuit elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The panel recited in claim 2 wherein said circuit elements at a laminated surface are redundant along the length of said surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
The panel recited in claim 2 wherein said circuit elements are redundant along the length of said laminated surfaces and wherein said means for making electrical contact to said circuit elements includes a bus bar in electrical contact with said redundant circuit elements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
The panel recited in claim 1 wherein said laminated plates are alternately offset with one another along one pair of parallel edges and forms a flush surface along the opposite edges thereof and wherein access to circuit elements along a laminated surface is provided by a bus bar extending into the offset region of said plates.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
64 words
A display device including a panel which constitutes a major surface of said device said panel comprising a plurality of laminated plates, the edges of which form said major surface, said plates having redundant matrix addressing circuit elements at laminated surfaces thereof, said laminated surfaces being perpendicular to said major surface, and each of said redundant circuit elements providing control of a display element.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
A display device including a panel which constitutes a major surface of said device said panel comprising a plurality of laminated plates, the edges of which form said major surface, said plates having redundant matrix addressing circuit elements at laminated surfaces thereof, said laminated surfaces being perpendicular to said major surface, and each of said redundant circuit elements providing control of a display element.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
The display device of claim 6 further comprising a front support plate having a transparent conductive coating on the inner surface thereof and a liquid crystal composition sandwiched between said plate and said panel.
