          Appeal No. 1998-2976                                                        
          Application No. 08/326,049                                                  


          first major surface 15, with each switching element 20 for                  
          activating a conductive pad 19 upon receiving electrical                    
          signals through both row and column conductive strips 21, 22.               
          An electrical drive circuit 29 is positioned adjacent the                   
          second major surface 16 of the substrate 14 and electrically                
          activates the switching elements 20 in correspondence to                    
          desired video images to be reproduced by the picture elements               
          18 over the first major surface 15 of the substrate.  Each                  
          module has interconnecting conductors 30 adjacent the edge                  
          surface 17 of the substrate which electrically connect the                  
          drive circuit 29 on the second major surface 16 and the row                 
          and column conductive strips 21, 22 along the first major                   
          surface 15.  Conductors 30 are electrically insulated from                  
          like interconnecting conductors 30 on adjacent modules.                     


                                    The Prior Art                                     
          Unotoro discloses a flat-screen display made up of a                        
          plurality of display modules 1.  The structure 1 comprises an               
          insulating substrate 4 provided with connecting pins 2 and 3;               
          a semiconductor display module IC chip 6 on which required                  
          driving circuit elements are integrated corresponding to                    
                                          5
