The invention provides an electroluminescent display device in which
purity of R, G, and B colors is prevented from lowering by minimizing
white light leakage and color mixture caused by an escape of light to an
outside of a color filter layer. An organic EL element driving TFT is
formed on an insulating substrate. A first planarization insulating film
is formed so as to cover the organic EL element driving TFT. A color
filter layer is buried in the first planarization insulating film. An
anode layer is connected with the organic EL element driving TFT and
extends over the first planarization insulating film. A second
planarization insulating film is formed so as to cover end portions of
the anode layer. Here, a length of an overlapping area of the color
filter layer and the second planarization insulating film is set larger
than a sum of thicknesses of the anode layer and the first planarization
insulating film. Accordingly, most of light radiated from an organic EL
layer can be transmitted through the color filter layer 103.
