Reflective type active matrix display panel and method of manufacturing same

A method of manufacturing a reflective type active matrix display panel having pixel electrodes formed on a substrate, comprising the steps of:

• forming an insulating film all over the substrate including the pixel electrodes;
• planarizing surfaces of the pixel electrodes and the insulating film by use of a polishing material including an etchant for etching the insulating film and the pixel electrode;
• and
• forming a liquid crystal layer on the planarized pixel electrodes.

A reflective type active matrix display panel, comprising:

• semiconductor pixel transistors arranged into a matrix pattern on a substrate;
• pixel electrodes connected to the transistors;
• an insulating film formed all over the substrate including the pixel electrodes, a surface of the insulating film being planarized by use of a polishing material including an etchant for etching the insulating film;
• a reflective layer and a liquid crystal layer formed on the planarized insulating film;
• wirings arranged into a matrix pattern and connected to the transistors, signals being applied to the pixel electrodes via the wirings and the transistors, wherein the transistors, pixel electrodes, and wirings are provided in a display pixel area on the substrate;
• and
• drive circuits for scanning the signals, formed around the display pixel area.
