An objective is simplification of a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device or the like. In a manufacturing method of a thin film transistor, a stack in which a first conductive film, an insulating film, a semiconductor film, an impurity semiconductor film, and a second conductive film are stacked in this order is formed, and the first conductive film is exposed by first etching and a pattern of the second conductive film is formed by second etching. Further, after thin film transistors are formed, a color filter layer is formed so that unevenness caused by the thin film transistors or the like is relieved; thus, the level difference of the surface where the pixel electrode layer is formed is reduced. Alternatively, a color filter layer is selectively formed utilizing the unevenness caused by thin film transistors or the like.
