Abstract:
A luminescent display device of active matrix drive type comprising:a substrate; a switching thin film transistor, a current control thin film transistor, a capacitor, a signal line, a scanning line and a common line which are provided on the substrate; an electroluminescent device provided on the substrate and comprising a pixel electrode connected to the common line via the current control thin film transistor, an electroluminescent layer having at least one light emitting layer, and a counter electrode; a light-shielding layer for preventing light emitted from the electroluminescent device from reaching the switching and the current control thin film transistors; and wherein the light-shielding layer is provided as an insulating film under the pixel electrode and above the switching and current control thin film transistors, and optionally above peripheral regions of the switching and current control thin film transistors.
