Patent attributes
A top-emission-type organic EL display device which exhibits uniform screen brightness is realized by preventing a voltage drop of an upper electrode formed of a transparent conductive film. Pixels each of which is sandwiched between an upper electrode and a lower electrode are arranged in a matrix array to form a display region. An auxiliary electrode extends in the lateral direction between the pixels and the pixels for preventing a voltage drop of the upper electrode. A current supply line which supplies an electric current to the upper electrode and the auxiliary electrodes are made conductive with each other by forming a through hole in an insulation layer. To ensure reliability of connection at the through hole, a contact electrode made of metal which overlaps with the auxiliary electrode is formed on the through hole by vapor deposition.
