Electrodes for liquid crystal cells include a substrate e.g. glass having a
conductive and alignment coating e.g. a fluorine doped tin oxide coating.
After a conductive coating is deposited on the substrate the surface is
cleaned and wiped unidirectionally with a solvent saturated cloth for a
predetermined number of times. The electrode prepared in the above manner
eliminates the need for the polyimide layer over a conductive coating and
heat treatment of the polyimide layer.
