In an electrode device for addressing a functional element a layer of electrical isolating materials is provided between first and second electrodes intersecting without direct physical or electrical contact and forming a bridge structure. Over both electrodes an electrical conducting or semiconducting contact layer of organic material is provided and contacts both electrodes electrically. In an electrode device with detecting, information storing and/or information indicating function an electrically addressable functional element is provided adjacent to or in the intersection between the electrodes. In an electrode device including two or more electrode device, the electrodes form patterned layers of row and column electrodes in a 2-dimensional matrix, wherein the contact layer forms a patterned or integrated global layer and functional elements which each registers with an electrode intersection in the matrix, are provided in one or more patterned or non-patterned layers.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An electrode means for addressing of a functional element comprisinga first and a second electrode, the first electrode being provided in the form of a substantially strip structure of an electrical conducting material, the second electrode being provided over the first electrode in the form of a substantially strip structure of an electrical conducting material and in substantially orthogonal intersecting relationship to the first electrode,a layer of electrical isolating material being provided at an intersection between the first and the second electrode such that the electrodes overlap each other without direct physical and electrical contact and form a bridge structure, anda contact layer of an electrical conducting or semiconducting material being provided above the first electrode and the second electrode, electrically contacting both the first and the second electrode.
