Title: Method of making electrical connections for liquid crystal cells

Abstract: The cell comprises two spaced apart substrates and a plurality of terminals for the cell disposed along an exposed surface of one of the substrates. Electrodes are disposed on each of the substrates, and connector means for connecting one of the terminals on the one substrate and an electrode on the other substrate comprises a fused glass bump bridging the space between the two substrates and electrically connected to the one terminal and the electrode on the other substrate. The glass bump contains metal particles dispersed therethroughout to provide it with electrical conductive characteristics.
