Abstract

An electrode for an electro-optic device has a wetting layer of electrically conductive material formed on a substrate. A second layer of electrically conductive material is formed on the wetting layer of electrically conductive material. The wetting layer has a first wetting ability with respect to a surface of the substrate and the second layer has a second wetting ability with respect to the surface of said substrate. The first wetting ability is different from the second wetting ability and the wetting layer acts to alter an optical property of the electrode due to the wetting ability of the wetting layer on the surface of the substrate.
