Abstract
The present invention relates to a super twisted nematic liquid crystal display capable of forming plating layers composed of Ni, Ni+Al or Ni, Ni+Au using electroless plating on both sides of the indium tin oxide electrode. The liquid crystal display with a low resistance electrode includes an indium tin oxide transparent electrode formed on a glass substrate at a predetermined distance from one another, and first and second metal layers formed on both sides of the ITO transparent electrode. As a result, line resistance by line voltage drop of the transparent electrode can be reduced to obtain the uniform picture quality.

A method for producing a liquid crystal display comprising the steps of:
- depositing an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer on a glass substrate;
- coating a photoresist on said ITO layer;
- exposing a portion of the photoresist using a chromium mask;
- developing the photoresist to remove one of either the exposed portion of the photoresist or unexposed portion of the photoresist so that a photoresist pattern is formed on the ITO layer;
- forming the ITO layer to have the same pattern as the photoresist pattern by using an ITO etchant and thereby forming sides on the ITO layer protected by the photoresist pattern;
- forming first and second metal layers on the sides of said ITO layer protected by the photoresist pattern by first and second electrodeless plating;
- and
- removing the photoresist pattern.
