1. A semiconductor backplane comprising:
- spaced first and second regions, an array of electronic or electrical elements in said first region, logic elements for addressing said array in said second region, and conductors coupling said first and second regions, wherein the first and second regions are spaced by at least 500 microns to permit the presence of an adhesive sealing strip therebetween without substantial contact with the first and second regions.

Abstract
In active semiconductor backplane (3), for example for a smectic liquid crystal cell, which comprises an array of electronic or elctrical elements in a first region (4), logic elements for addressing said array in a second region spaced from the first, and conductors coupling said first and second regions, the first and second regions are sufficiently widely spaced (21, 22) (providing a “glue lane”) to permit the presence of an adhesive sealing strip therebetween without substantial contact with the first and/or second regions, even when an opposed substrate is sealed thereto. The backplane may comprise spacers (25, 26) in the first region and/or glue lane.
