Abstract
An improved method of manufacturing active matrix displays with ESD protection through final assembly and in process testing and repair capabilities. At least a first set of shorting bars is formed adjacent the row and column matrix. The shorting bars are respectively coupled to one another in series to allow testing of the matrix elements. A first shorting bar is coupled to the row lines and a second shorting bar is coupled to the column lines. The shorting bars can remain coupled to the matrix through final assembly to provide ESD protection and final assembly and testing capability.
