Display apparatus and method for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a display apparatus including a first substrate having a first electrode, a second substrate having a second electrode, and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the method comprising the steps of:

• forming a thin film transistor on the first substrate side;
• forming an insulating film formed from at least one layer so as to cover the thin film transistor:
• forming a contact hole in a region of the insulating film corresponding to an active layer of the thin film transistor;
• forming a connection metal layer in the region of the contact hole;
• forming a reflective material layer so as to cover the insulating film and the connection metal layer and patterning the reflective material layer so that the reflective material layer remains in a predetermined pixel region other than a region above the connection metal layer, to form a reflective layer;
• and
• forming the first electrode from a transparent conductive material so as to cover the reflective layer and the connection metal layer and electrically connecting the first electrode to the thin film transistor via the connection metal layer.
