Abstract
The present invention has an object to reduce the number of necessary masks to reduce manufacturing cost. A method of manufacturing a display device includes: forming electrodes or first lines; forming a first insulating film covering the electrodes or the first lines; forming a second insulating film covering the first insulating film; collectively forming first contact holes through the first insulating film and the second insulating film so as to expose parts of the electrodes or parts of the first lines; planarizing a surface of the second insulating film; and forming a first conductive layer to be connected from the surface of the second insulating film to the exposed parts of the electrodes or the exposed parts of the first lines via the first contact holes.
