Abstract

An electrode plate for a liquid crystal device is constituted by a light-transmissive substrate, a plurality of metal electrodes disposed on the light-transmissive substrate with a spacing therebetween, an insulating layer disposed at the spacing, and a plurality of transparent electrodes disposed on the insulating layer and each electrically connected with an associated metal electrode at a first end portion thereof. The first end portion of the transparent electrode is located closer to the light-transmissive substrate than an adjacent end portion of an adjacent transparent electrode. The electrode plate is effective in providing a liquid crystal device with a wider optical modulation region while improving image qualities.

Dependent claims

A production apparatus of an electrode plate, comprising:

a resin-supplying unit for supplying a curable resin to a surface of a substrate having thereon a plurality of metal electrodes or a surface of a mold plate comprising a base substrate and a plurality of projections disposed on the base substrate each having at least one oblique end portion with respect to a surface of the base substrate and each having a width narrower than a width of each metal electrode,
a resin-molding unit for molding the curable resin by pressing the mold plate against the resin so as to align a prescribed position of each projection with a corresponding position of each metal electrode,
a resin-curing unit for curing the curable resin, and
a peeling unit for peeling the mold plate from a surface of the cured resin .
