Abstract

An electronic device of the element row type, and a wiring method of its electrode pattern, is characterized by the disposition of a plurality of the elements being arranged in a longitudinal array which is divided into a plurality of blocks. A pair of driver devices are employed to drive the elements, and wiring patterns interconnect the elements to the driver devices. In accordance with the present invention, the wiring patterns include first portions which extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the element array, and second portions which extend parallel to the longitudinal extent of the element array, with the parallel portions defining substantially the same width dimension regions, and wherein further, such width regions are overlapped with respect to each other such that the overall width of the wiring pattern for the electronic device may be substantially reduced as compared to those of prior art devices whereby miniaturization of the electronic device may be achieved.
