A method for forming a pixel electrode on a substrate, including: forming a bank corresponding to a region for forming the pixel electrode on a substrate; disposing, by a liquid ejection method, a first functional liquid containing transparent conductive microparticles in the region partitioned by the bank; drying the first functional liquid to produce a first layer film; disposing, by a liquid ejection method, a second functional liquid containing a silicon compound onto the first layer film; and forming a pixel electrode made of a laminate that includes: a transparent conductive layer which is formed by calcining together the first layer film and the second functional liquid and is composed of the first layer film and silicon oxide filling a pore in the first layer film; and a silicon oxide layer formed on the transparent conductive layer.
