Abstract
For contacting a non-linear switching element (10), for example for use in a display device (1), a metallic layer (14) is provided on a layer of non-linear resistive material by means of a low-energetic deposition technique. This layer may function as a contact but also as a protective layer when a contact metallization (15) is provided at a later stage.
