Abstract
An optical shutter array comprising a transparent substrate of a material exhibiting an electrooptic effect having parallel channels and electrodes of a conductive resin composition disposed in the channels can be driven with a lower voltage while minimizing cross-talk. Contact pads on the channel electrodes facilitate wire bonding to the electrodes, and a transparent dielectric film covering the substrate surface prevents damage to the electrodes by air discharge and provides abrasion resistance. The use of an anisotropic conductive connector and a flexible printed wiring connector ensures simple positive wire connection.
