An organic electroluminescent display panel includes: a first electrode, a pixel defining layer, an organic light emitting functional layer and a second electrode provided on a substrate; a conductive layer and a protection layer provided at a side of the second electrode away from the substrate, the conductive layer and the protection layer being provided in a single layer, a surface of the protection layer away from the substrate being parallel to that of the second electrode away from the substrate, the conductive layer being provided between the protection layer and the second electrode and in contact with the second electrode, the protection layer including a first portion provided in the pixel regions and a second portion provided on the conductive layer, and a sum of a thickness of the second portion and a thickness of the conductive layer being approximately equal to a thickness of the first portion.
