Passive matrix display device and method of making the same

A passive matrix display device comprising:

• a first electrode panel comprising a first substrate, a plurality of anisotropic conductive lines on the first substrate extending in a first direction, and a plurality of first electrodes, each of the first electrodes comprising at least two of but less than all of the plurality of anisotropic conductive lines, and others of the plurality of anisotropic conductive lines being arranged between and contacting both adjacent ones of the first electrodes;
• a second electrode panel comprising a second substrate, a plurality of anisotropic conductive lines on the second substrate extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a plurality of second electrodes, each of the second electrodes comprising at least two of but less than all of the plurality of anisotropic conductive lines, and others of the plurality of anisotropic conductive lines being arranged between and contacting both adjacent ones of the second electrodes;
• and
• a display control medium between the first electrode panel and the second electrode panel configured to be varied by an electric field generated between the first electrodes and the second electrodes.
