Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A matrix display apparatus comprising: a pair of substrates, at least one of which is translucent, a display medium that is placed between said pair of substrates and that modulates its optical characteristics in response to voltage that is applied, display electrodes that are formed on the inner surface of at least one of said pair of substrates, driving wires for the driving of said display electrodes, and repair wires for the repair of said driving wires, wherein said matrix display apparatus has a layered structure in which said driving wires are layered on and along said repair wires to sandwich an insulating film therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
