Abstract
A non-emissive flat panel display, such as an LCD having a plurality of pixels defined by the overlapping areas of row and column electrodes, is provided with a novel mask arrangement to block light from leaking through the interpixel spaces or gaps without electrically shorting the electrodes. The light-blocking mask is split into two parts, with one part deposited on each substrate to block the light from being transmitted through the inter-electrode gaps on the opposite substrate to improve the contrast ratio of the display.
