Abstract
An electrode for an electro-optical device is provided. Light is passing through this electrode which comprises a pattern of conductive elements. The elements have dimensions small compared to the wavelength of light, so that the electrode appear transparent. The light intensity distribution after having penetrated the electrode compared with the light intensity distribution before having penetrated the electrode is influenced by forward scattering.
