Abstract
A technique for creating a conductive connection between a contact part (24) of a display back plane (34) and a common electrode (20) of a display front plane (32), comprising the step of compressing a compressible conductive component (30) between the display front plane (32) and the display back plane (34), wherein the method further comprises the step of interposing one or more layers (10, 36) having a low modulus of elasticity not larger than 5 GPa between the contact part (24) and the compressible conductive component (30) prior to the compressing step.
