A top emission type electro-luminescent display device comprising a thin film transistor, an opaque electrode, an opaque layer, and an electro-luminescent medium layer. The thin film transistor overlies a substrate and is covered by an interlayer insulator. The opaque electrode and the opaque layer are successively disposed on the interlayer insulator, in which the opaque electrode is electrically connected to the thin film transistor and the opaque layer comprises an opening exposing a portion of the underlying opaque electrode. The electro-luminescent medium layer is disposed over the exposed portion of the opaque electrode. The transparent electrode is disposed on the opaque layer and conformally covers the surfaces of the opening and the electro-luminescent medium layer.
