Abstract
Abstract A flat display comprises a lower substrate including a matrix of pixel electrodes, column lines and row lines; an upper substrate having a common electrode; a Liquid Crystal material filled between said lower and upper substrates; and a plurality of transistors provided on another substrate and transferred or connected to said lower substrate in up side down fashion. The transistor has three bonding pads connected to said pixel electrode, column and row lines, respectively, aligned with the corresponding position of said lower substrate after transferring it to said lower substrate through transfer plates. Alternatively, a diode having an anode and a cathode bonding pads may be used.
