Abstract
An improved electrode for use in displays, including those of the touchscreen type, has a conductive polymeric material disposed over the electrode material at those regions where the electrode is subject to flexing in use, thereby putting the electrode material at risk of cracking. The conductive polymeric material bridges any cracks which may develop, thus providing electrical continuity.
