In an active-type electroluminescent (EL) display, a conductor interconnecting
a cathode (55) of an EL panel (30, 40) and a connection terminal
of a signal input substrate (35) has a multilayer structure formed of a
cathode material and a conductive material used in a thin-film transistor forming
step. The conductor may be formed of a conductive material used in a thin film
transistor forming step. A metal material for a gate electrode or drain electrode
is preferably used as the conductive material. The connection conductor structure
can reduce the electrical resistance of the connection conductor, thus preventing
a decrease in display intensity of an EL display.
