Abstract:
An electrode plate, comprising: 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, wherein said 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, andeach transparent electrode has an edge at a second end portion opposite to the first end portion and electrically insulated from an adjacent metal electrode having an adjacent edge, said edge of the transparent electrode being substantially aligned with said adjacent edge of the adjacent metal electrode when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the light-transmissive substrate.
