Patent ID: 8531632

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a display device comprising: forming, on a substrate, a planarizing layer that covers an element layer formed on the substrate; forming, in the planarizing layer, a contact hole leading to the element layer; forming, on the planarizing layer, a pixel electrode connected to the element layer through the contact hole; forming a gap adjusting layer over the planarizing layer; and forming, on the gap adjusting layer, a reflection electrode connected to the pixel electrode at one end of the gap adjusting layer, wherein, the pixel electrode has a portion that is between the planarizing layer and the gap adjusting layer with respect to a thickness direction of the display device, and the planarizing layer is formed such that a height from a surface of the substrate to a surface of the planarizing layer in an area in which the gap adjusting layer is formed is larger than a height from the surface of the substrate to a surface of the planarizing layer in an area in which the gap adjusting layer is not formed.
