An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a display device with few steps and high yield. One feature of the invention is to form a first mask pattern having low wettability over a conductive layer, form a second mask pattern having high wettability over the conductive layer using the first mask pattern as a mask, and form a mask pattern for etching the conductive layer by removing the first mask pattern. Another feature is to form a pixel electrode by etching the conductive layer.
