Abstract
An electro-optic display device having a matrix array of picture elements and a thin film structure of storage capacitors associated with each picture element, the device provided with redundancy in the storage capacitor structure by segmenting one of the capacitor plates into two plates to produce two capacitors in series. Because the segmented plates are all on one level of the thin film structure, no additional masking steps are required.
