Electrode structure which supports self alignment of liquid deposition of materials

A two layer electrode structure to promote the deposition of a fluid in a precise island pattern comprising;

• a first electrode layer formed on a surface;
• at least one island of the fluid in the precise island pattern formed on the first electrode layer and in electrical contact with the first electrode layer;
• and
• a second layer formed in contact with the first electrode layer and substantially surrounding the at least one island of the precise island pattern.

A method of improving a conductivity of a transparent electrode structure in an electro-optical device comprising the steps of;

• forming a transparent electrode material on a surface of the electro-optical device;
• and
• forming a high conductivity material on the surface of the electro-optical device;
• wherein the high conductivity material is in electrical contact with the transparent electrode material and is configured not to obscure light passing through the transparent electrode material.

An electrode structure comprising;

• a substrate having a surface;
• a first transparent electrode layer formed in a first area of the surface which corresponds to at least one transparent window;
• and
• a second electrode layer having a higher conductivity than the first electrode layer and being formed in a second area of the surface, the second electrode being electrically coupled to the first transparent electrode layer.
