Each patterned electrode has a laminate structure including a first layer of nickel metal formed on the substrate and a second layer of copper formed thereon. The electrode plate may be prepared by a process including a step of etching such a multi-layer metal electrode-forming film formed on a substrate by spraying an etchant downwardly and uniformly onto the substrate while rotating the substrate at a rotation speed sufficient to allow quick liberation of the etchant from the substrate. The metal electrodes can be formed with good adhesion onto the substrate and with good width and thickness accuracy. By incorporating the electrode plate as a pair of substrates sandwiching a liquid crystal, a liquid crystal device free from transmission delay and rounding of voltage waveforms can be provided.
