Appeal No. 94-3349
Application 07/757,085
allowable. Claims 1, 3, 11, 14, 17, 21, 26-32 and 35 have been
canceled.
Appellants' claimed subject matter is an inter-
connection structure for electrically connecting a conductor
pattern on a substrate to an additional member. Claims 9 and 33
are illustrative of the subject matter on appeal:
9. A display device comprising an electro-optical
medium provided between two supporting bodies provided with drive
electrodes, said drive electrodes on one of the supporting bodies
extending as far as beyond the surface area defined by the
electro-optical medium, characterized in that the drive
electrodes are connected in an electrically conducting manner to
a semiconductor substrate by means of an interconnection
structure having patterned strip-shaped contact elevations on at
least a part of its central surface for contacting a conductor
pattern provided on said semiconductor substrate in an
electrically conductive manner, each of said strip-shaped contact
elevations having a length which is at least 4 times its width.
33. An interconnection structure for connecting a
conductor pattern provided on a substrate in an electrically
conducting manner to an additional member, characterized in that
the interconnection structure has patterned strip-shaped contact
elevations on at least a part of its central surface for
contacting said conductor pattern to said additional member in an
electrically conducting manner, each of said strip-shaped contact
elevations having a length which is at least 4 times its width.
