An organic electroluminescent display (ELD) device includes a first
substrate, a second substrate spaced apart and facing the first substrate,
a plurality of switching thin film transistors and a plurality of driving
thin film transistors interconnected on the first substrate, each of the
switching thin film transistor and the driving thin film transistor having
an active layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain
electrode, the drain electrode of the driving thin film transistor being
extended to the pixel region to have an extended portion, a contact
electrode contacting the extended portion of the drain electrode of the
driving thin film transistor, a first electrode formed on the second
substrate, an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode, and a
second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer.
